About the Item
This artwork is a vivid testimony of how identity is never bare, but always clothed in layers of history, memory, and tradition. The woman at its center is not simply dressed in red; she is draped in culture itself. The surrounding tapestry of leaves, symbols, and ancestral patterns becomes a garment of heritage, an unspoken fabric that protects, adorns, and defines. The red attire symbolizes vitality, strength, and individuality, yet it is inseparable from the green foliage and geometric motifs that surround her. Together, they speak of harmony between personal identity and collective memory. Here, culture is not a static backdrop; it is a living, breathing garment that moves with the body and shapes expression. The title “Àṣà Ló Fi Ìbora” is a Yoruba affirmation: culture is the true covering, deeper than clothes, more enduring than fashion. In it, we find the continuity of a people, the resilience of a community, and the elegance of a spirit that refuses to be erased. This piece invites us to ask: What covers us? What patterns do we carry in our skin, in our gestures, in our very being? To be clothed in culture is to be wrapped in the stories of our ancestors while stepping boldly into our own becomin
