Notes
“The artist infuses mythological references in her art through the use of indigo, a colour steeped in cosmic significance within Yoruba culture. Her subjects exude a quiet confidence, bearing strong resemblances to ghostly figures and sharing a profound bond of mutual reinforcement...The portrait presented here interrogates interpersonal relationships which embody the societal ideal of the nuclear family—a joyful yet tentative aspiration for many. ”1
