What inspires your creative process?
I am inspired by everything. My main influence is the recognition and celebration of our African heritage. The aesthetic of my work is influenced by African statues in general, but in particular by Bantu, Baole, and Yoruba people. My creative process also includes music, specifically with heavy tribal drummers and strings. I also do a lot of research about the matter I will be creating.
