Adornments
Yeboji
The dichotomy of intersectionality and the narratives of community through adornments. “Adornment” is not just about decoration; it is a reflection of individual and collective stories. This work quietly unravels the weaving of environment and identity through the lens of adornment, inviting viewers to contemplate the multifaceted significance of adorning surroundings.
Through the dichotomy of oil paint, graphite, and ink marks, I treat each stroke as an individual in the visual ecosystem of interconnectedness, unravelling the intricate tapestry of forms within our world. This body of work finds its roots in the profound concept of “lingering,” inviting viewers to pause, embrace the present moment, and explore the complexities of relationships that intertwine various forms.
My paintings serve as a visual dialogue, reflecting the evolution of adornment through time and cultures, from traditional jewelry to handcrafted relationships challenging societal norms. I delve into the concept of adornment and figures to create a visual narrative that reflects the mundane hostility often overlooked in the normality of busy lifestyles.
