OLOWOGBOGBORO
2022

Inner Tyre Rubber Tubes and Rivets on PPR pipe

157.48 x 127.953 in


My creative process involves weaving tapestries from discarded inner tubes, focusing on upcycling materials from vulcanizer shops. 

Olowogbogboro means "God whose hand is long enough to reach at any length" in Yoruba. Inspired by Ewe and Ga naming traditions, I name my works based on the emotions or moments tied to their creation, often using Yoruba and Igbo names due to their cultural connections to my heritage.
