Íwébénúa

Íwébénúà - Inspired by the true story of a woman who married three brothers, each of whom died, leading to her being wrongfully accused of witchcraft.    
 
Draped in Akwáocha, she symbolizes endurance in the face of grief, stigma, and isolation.
 
This piece was inspired by a book written by Felix Banye, titled after his mother "Íwébénúà", which recounts her life, struggles, and strength in the face of cultural injustice.
