This selection of works reflects my ongoing exploration of memory, identity, childhood and cultural transmission through textile collage and mixed media. Working with African fabrics, recycled materials and everyday fragments, I transform ordinary materials into visual narratives that explore the relationship between memory, the body, identity and contemporary African experience.
