“Matriarch of Tomorrow” explores what remains of identity, ritual, and memory beyond time. Inspired by African ceremonial sculpture and sacred object traditions, the work imagines a future civilization still shaped by ancestral presence. The figure exists between relic and prophecy neither entirely human nor entirely symbolic. Its faceted geometry and rhythmic carved contours suggest erosion, memory, architecture, and ritual inscription, transforming the body into a monument of cultural continuity. The sculpture reinterprets their spiritual essence through a contemporary visual language. The result is an object suspended between past and future, a future ancestor carrying the weight of forgotten ceremonies and evolving identities.

Mycelial Oracle

**"Mother of Memory** is carved from reclaimed wood, drawing directly from the presence and authority of traditional African artifacts. But at its core, it’s about the quiet, unyielding strength of motherhood holding space, enduring, and shaping the lineages to come. Carbonized gestures in reclaimed wood

Silent Foundation

Carved from reclaimed extremely rare ebony wood, this art piece showcases unmatched beauty and distinction.She is both guardian and witness, carrying the silent endurance of generations. Polished and unfinished surfaces reveal the balance of fragility and strength, presence and absence. Bronze pillars descend gently beneath, grounding her with quiet support. Ebony’s permanence and bronze’s radiance unite to evoke endurance that is both elemental and human, fragile yet unbreakable
