My soundscape features recordings of the everyday sounds around me; the lives of people in their natural spaces, conversations with my family and the hustle and bustle around the cities of Lagos and Abeokuta that I directly used within the first part of my sound piece. The second part of the soundscape features my mother delivering a personalised Oríkì to me. In Yoruba culture, an Oríkì is a praise name/poem given to a child according to the circumstances of their birth and speaks life to their destiny. Using this alongside my work, reinforces the deep personal cultural connection that ties me to my paintings and mirrors how my paintings are birthed through a journey of my own ‘Fictioning’. My mother’s narration created an intimate atmosphere that encouraged viewers to remain within the space and engage more deeply with the work.
