Ìṣura: Treasure
Ongoing Body of Work
Ìṣura is a body of work made from Adire and coffee-dyed, distressed textiles, where cloth becomes a carrier of memory, labour, migration and time. Rooted in Black experience but extending into wider human questions, the works explore how personal, inherited and collective memories can coexist within a single surface. Through fragmentation, repetition, layering and repair, Ìṣura asks what materials remember, what we carry with us, and what remains.
