Still crowned II is a work that reimagines a crown not as jewels, but as the weight and grace women carry every day. The stillness is not weakness. It is strength held, protected, and passed on. Crafted from electronic cables and wires, I was Inspired by the way nature and women both build homes for the future.
Why collect this work?
Still Crowned II builds a composed portrait from accumulated lines, making dignity appear not as polish or ornament but as something materially constructed and held together.
- Adekunle states that her recycled-cable practice connects environmental accountability with identity. She describes this imagined crown as the weight and grace carried by women, an intention supported here by the hair’s dense, commanding mass.
- Against the blue field, the head turns slightly while the prominent eye looks outward. Black coils establish the braided hair; shorter gold, grey, red and dark segments articulate the face without concealing its assembled structure.
- The documented medium is electronic cables and wires on canvas. Straight segments create facial planes and vertical clothing, while loops and bends define the hair, eye, earring and coral-red neck tie.
- Dated 2026 and measuring 16 by 20 inches, the work places technological material within formal portraiture, providing a focused case for considering how contemporary identity can be pictured through accumulation rather than seamless illusion.
