My intention for this piece of work was to communicate my family’s Nigerian culture. I love different cultures and wanted to be creative with linking different aspects, for example the food and dress.
This work is collage, but I have also been making work from Brown rice and Ofada rice, which come from the Ogun state of South Nigeria, food that my family eats all the time.
In this work, I have used inspiration from Ciara Phelan’s work. I have used images from magazines of celebrities as I think they can really help raise awareness of different cultures to a large audience.
I am hoping to progress on to Health and Social Care as I wish to be a part of the NHS one day and continue the wonderful work they do.
