This piece on Shina Peters is a way for me to visit the nostalgia of witnessing my mother dance freely to Afro-juju, transforming that memory into the piece. The movement of her skirt reflects in the folds on my shekere installation, the width also suggests the shoulders of my mom. The installation features a painting of Shina Peter’s image from his performance in the Ace album and another image of him performing as he advanced over the years.
