We have gone far from ourselves. Traversed paths filled with pain, deception, betrayal, remorse and much more. We've had to take these emotional paths again in a quest for remembrance and awakening. This has been the path to rediscover oneself in the depths of one's heart, as African. And there are multiple layers to this. We've faced hurdles and have had to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. And all this has been in service of freeing the African spirit within us.
We will not stop there. For thousands of our spirits are locked up in maximum-security buildings called museums. And we will go to lengths and heights to free spirit. For without spirit, we have no true life.
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.
