Berlin, Germany

(b. 1996, Ibadan) is a Nigerian–American artist, architect, and essayist currently based in Berlin. Her research-based practice prioritizes poetics to explore spatial themes on form, environment, agency, and sensuality. Constructing micro–climates of the cool, her larger body of art–architecture–essayistic works are forming quiet architectonics for collective rest, referencing thought by Darell Fields, Sylvia Wynter, and Edouard Glissant with central concepts on abstraction, interiority, and opacity.

Alongside her independent work, she collaborates with art and architecture institutions and studios on design, research, editorial, project management, and communications.
