“OBITO”

This collection was inspired by looking at the journey of the southern Nigeria Benin woman and how she navigates her emotions as influenced by culture and society. From the birth of her child, to the loss of her husband and then finding herself.
This collection explores birth, death and rebirth; three major cultural turning points for the traditional Benin woman, in respect to the Benin culture and how it is presented in the women of the Benin kingdom.
How she expresses joy, how she expresses grief and loss and how she expresses self actualisation.
