"A Woman of Ivory" -- image utilises the symbolism of the ivory to represent the woman's strength and assertion of independence where society insists a woman's greatness is often connected to the men she is related to. First, her father, her brothers (should she have any), and her husband--even her son(s).

The Crowning I -- a caricature-like approach to the consumption (literally and figuratively) of masculinity via bearing fruits and holding the title of "man of the house".

"Fruit of The Eye" -- depicting how the validity of womanhood is often closely connected to a woman's ability to perform adequately in the private sphere. Ability to bear children being primary. In some cases in African culture--namely, Nigerian--when a woman is unable to bear children, she is ostracised and considered unworthy/undesirable. Some husbands take another wife, often through the assistance of other family members.

"Bearer of Fruits I"

The Crowning II -- communicating society's role in determining roles to be fulfilled and Man behaves accordingly.

The Crowning III -- eventually said scripts are retained and internalised as part of the Man's identity.

"Portrait of A Woman".

"Portrait of a Woman (and a Woman)" -- In Igbo culture, when a woman's husband dies and she has no son or no child, it is considered culturally-permissible for her to marry a wife. And in this case, she becomes the husband. I created this image to communicate that as well as challenge the renewed rejection of homosexuality widely in Nigeria.
