The future is digital.. the Nwanyi Oma collection by presents a story of the future and the past; my future and my past. I express the desire to hide and be seen, simultaneously, and the hesitations to treasure true beauty and strength while exploring the sui generis nature of individuality. I am my own muse. My thoughts and truths inspire me and express the universal struggle for identity – a merging of inner worlds with the textures of reality. My works show my facial features interwoven with patterns that reflect my powerful heritage and African culture.

Self with poise

I am meeting parts of myself I’ve been at war with and emerging into something new.

Self unseen

Digital print on canvas So many, I have been, but here lies the scariest of them all- sketched with soul, Strokes of limitless, And fearlessly carved- A portrait with my true colours. - Somi N.

Self in Side-Eye

When you've learned to both see and not see the resemblance...then you see the uniqueness.
