The spirit-filled artifacts have been away from home for far too long. They sit in glass cages, under maximum security, starving, and tired. With deep sense of longing for home.
I bet you they cannot wait to be carried back home, where they belong.
In similar fashion, the African spirit which lives in the blood and bones of Africans, has been starved for so long, as many Africans have deserted their ways, and strayed far away from their true essence. Though dormant in many, this spirit is still alive and is longing to come back home to its African roots, to be reconnected to its source of power in the hearts and minds of Africans.
The series is inspired by the thousands of African Cultural artifacts taken from the continent and currently held in museums around the world, away from its original owners. Most of these items hold immense cultural and spiritual value to us Africans, and is not just art. Most are physical mediums through which the indigenous African ancestors connected with the spirit realm, their ancestors and Gods. Removing these artifacts from their true homes disrupts these connections, causing immense spiritual, and consequent physical damage beyond imagination. It disconnects millions from themselves, their ancestors, their spirits, and God.
This is my ode and visual commentary on the destructive looting that has occurred across the continent for centuries. To shed light on the spiritual harm caused, by removing these artifacts from their rightful homes. These cultural, historical & spiritual items have been imprisoned for centuries, and it is time to set them free and return them home.
