ShinShuku

In "Shinshuku," Lola Okunola's fascination with African cultural traditions and aesthetics is evident. The central character wears vibrant, patterned fabrics reminiscent of African sartorial customs. Okunola skillfully combines these textiles with torn paper and organic materials, giving the figure dynamism and multi-layered identity. The construction of the piece reflects Okunola's conceptual interests, blending, overlapping, and sometimes obscuring visual elements to create an ambiguous central form.
