Crown Of Identity

Where identity is lived gently and carried with quiet strength.


This series reflects on how we express who we are in everyday life. It focuses on small gestures, presence and the subtle ways identity is shown and felt. The work honours the experience of belonging — not as something loud or declared, but as something steady, lived and rooted in both memory and present moment.

It encourages viewers to recognise identity as something evolving, layered and personally held.


This artwork explores the beauty of Yoruba identity and the sacred role of music in storytelling. The subject’s poised expression, scarification marks, and textured attire reflect a lineage that speaks without words. Through vibrant colour and detail, the piece connects past and present, reminding us that culture lives on through the art we carry.
