Olupamo, meaning "Our keeper" in Yoruba, reflects the naming traditions that inspire me. Being partly Ewe and Ga, I use these cultural practices to name my works based on the emotions and circumstances surrounding their creation, such as joy, gratitude, or contemplation. I began incorporating Yoruba names due to their connection to the Ga tribe and later explored Igbo names for their shared depth and meaning.
