Inspired by the ancient Ife bronze heads, this work explores identity, memory, and Yoruba heritage. I use thread to reinterpret their facial markings, creating a connection between the past and the present. Through this piece, I celebrate a rich cultural history and keep its story alive in a contemporary way.
