Since , her research-based practice has been centered on a strong art consciousness and self-revolutionary introspection via travel and nomadism between Europe and Africa. Her creation motive involves long-term accumulated experiences from different cultures and heritages. Bodies exist in a social context amid collective bodies and collective selves. The evacuation of the artist and conventional conceptions of the self and the body are even more prescient today in a world of such profound uncertainty.
As a form of social sculpture, performance art is a medium that holds a special place in her heart. It does not comply with usual aesthetic parameters, but rather with a set of forces that collectively form an experience. Nicolas Bourriaud would call this 'relational aesthetics' in the sense that the inter-relations of the encounters created between the subjected body and the participants are the performative work.
Her answer published in the catalogue of The Milky Way project undeniably demonstrates the capacity of art to heal our wounds through its political role of raising awareness in the face of a dominant ideology. More than any other medium, drawing reveals her intimate thoughts and workings, shaping her personal life story. With drawing, we can see both the finished product and the ideas, but most importantly, we can see the haptic experience of making lines on paper and always, we see it is the thinking hand that remains dominant.
With a material presence and labour intensive realisation, her drawings are a healing process and a reaction against the fleeting experience of images prevalent in our media saturated existence. This, to a large extent, has enhanced her sensitivity to such singular aesthetics and prompted her to discover their contemporary iterations.
The artist challenges the determinacy of our existential value while expanding its boundaries. Often referring to the allure and danger of binary categorization and the subsequent absurdity that it unfolds in our political and social climate, her other practices reveal the discrepancies amongst cultural norms, produce new semantics and find sense where meaning was lost. Psychological space can be made to coexist with pictorial space, enabling a personal revision of history. She was invited to participate in a performance at the Venice Biennale in by artist Jelili Atiku from Nigeria, an experience that strengthened her ties to Africa.
