Acrylic on canvas 35 x 45 x 4 cm 2025 My work brings together African ceremonial masks and football shirts to explore layered identity, belonging, and cultural inheritance. Drawing from my own mixed background, the figures occupy a space between heritage and contemporary global culture. The mask conceals and reveals, while the shirt signals allegiance, creating a tension between visibility and anonymity. These hybrid portraits reflect how identity is performed, worn, and negotiated across borders, particularly within the universal language of football.
