My first solo exhibition “Hairvolution” in 2014 set the direction for this body of work. The exhibition was an examination of the void created by the absence of my grandmother, who I never knew and who my father scarcely mentioned, I examined the resultant implication of her absence on me and my family. After this experience, I became particularly curious about similar kinds of voids that were a result of the absence of women in different facets of contemporary life as well as in documented African history. I became interested in subsuming women’s stories.
