His work examines the impact of ethnicity, gender, and desire on contemporary social and cultural dynamics. Trophy Piece (2020) belongs to a series of arresting mixed-media assemblages that incorporate traditional African fabric and patterns into their compositions. The work features images “sampled” from the artist’s wall collages, which he creates by combing through his personal archive. As a result, this and other pieces from the series forward an Afro-fusion of historical and contemporary global references that erodes distinctions between the personal and the political.1of 2
