About this artwork
The kiko-inspired threads extend downward like roots, deliberately knotted and interconnected. This visual language transforms kiko from a hairstyle into a metaphor for lineage and shared origin. Just as hair threading once connected generations of women through ritual and care, these stitched roots suggest a network of deep, intertwined, and inseparable ancestral ties. The roots curving and meeting reflect how identity is formed through collective…
memory and cultural inheritance. By using kiko to form these root systems, the artworks speak to how tradition grounds us, even as we stretch, evolve, and redefine ourselves.
