ASOROMAYE
2023

PPR pipe, Rubber Inner Tubes, License plates and Rivets

79.5 x 75.6 in

I weave tapestries from discarded inner tubes, focusing on upcycling materials from vulcanizer shops.

Asoromaye, meaning "He who prophesies and fulfills" in Yoruba, reflects my inspiration from Ewe and Ga naming traditions. I name my works based on the context of their creation, such as moments of joy or contemplation, using Yoruba and Igbo names for their cultural depth.
