Ụmụ Ada

Ụmụ Ada honours the Igbo girl child as a symbol of strength, dignity, and cultural continuity. Through portraiture, coral beads, gesture, and gaze become markers of lineage, responsibility, and heritage.


The series presents womanhood through an Igbo perspective, celebrating the quiet strength of daughters as keepers of memory, family, and tradition. It is a reflection on femininity that is rooted in culture while speaking to the present.
