Still crowned is a work reimagines a crown not as jewels, but as the weight and grace African women carry every day. The stillness is not weakness. It is strength held, protected, and passed on. Created from discarded electronic cables and wires, the piece was Inspired by the way nature and women both build homes for the future.
Why collect this work?
Dense cable coils crown a frontal portrait, making composure appear not effortless but constructed through accumulated weight, tension, and connection.
- The supplied artist profile describes Adekunle’s practice as portraiture made from recycled electronic cables. Her statement frames this material choice as environmental accountability; here, that concern is joined to her stated emphasis on the strength of African communities.
- In the photograph, black coils form a broad, crown-like hairstyle, while short vertical lengths articulate the face. The level gaze and slight smile hold their clarity against this dense linear structure, supporting the artist’s interpretation of stillness as strength rather than passivity.
- The documented medium, electronic cables and wires on canvas, makes contour dependent on bending, bundling, and accumulation. Curved lengths define the eyes and mouth, while parallel strands organize the neck and clothing into firm directional fields.
- The work places a familiar portrait format beside the material afterlife of electronics, allowing identity and environmental responsibility to be considered within the same image rather than as separate subjects.
