"Mask of Monarchy (M.O.M)" challenges the idea of power and identity by blending Western royal symbols with African elements. The yellow trumpet flowers represent Nigeria’s heritage, adding depth to the piece. The mask both hides and reveals, reflecting how history and power are often complex and layered. Through this, I ask: who truly holds power, and who bears its weight?
