“As an African conceptual artist, in the contemporary sense, with a multi-disciplinary artistic practice, I employ different mediums and materials such as elephant dung, through the media of painting in a stylized form, FOTO collage, sculpting, film, performance and installations that are conceptually built. My work explores various topics including consciousness, spiritual science, meta-physics, self-development, critical thinking and identity: not limited to queer-feminist agenda. These question how we humans relate to the world around us, our connection to the universe, and what interventions we can take in the environment in order to live in harmony, within and without. Presenting subjects as variable as the effects of armed conflict, and self-leadership the art submits familiar visual signs“
