Purple House (Sisi Eko Series)
$7,500.00
Purple House is a masterfully assembled mixed media collage portrait that breathes new life into fabric offcuts and textured haberdashery. Each fragment of Ankara, lace, houndstooth, and denim acts as an expressive brushstroke, constructing facial contours with tactile depth and psychological intrigue. Featuring a small painted home resting subtly upon the figure's cheek, the piece explores themes of shelter, female identity, memory, and cultural lineage woven into modern existence.

My practice investigates the complexities of contemporary human experience, memory, and cultural identity through dynamic texture and form. Rooted in my Nigerian heritage, I manipulate diverse materials to bridge ancestral narratives with modern realities—creating visceral, contemplative visual dialogues that explore resilience, emotional vulnerability, and the shifting rhythms of our shared existence.
