A pattern of symbols adorns this Technogym Bench, emblematic of the artist’s Nigerian heritage: a hand waving the country’s flag occupies the center of the artwork, surrounded by a network of pictograms inspired by “Nsibidi”, a proto-writing system developed by a secret society in the southeastern of Nigeria. The texture is crafted using the traditional "Adire Eleko," applying starch paste made from cassava flour.
