AFRICAN CYCLOPS

African Cyclops is a powerful fusion of tradition and modernity, where the face of a woman adorned in layered beads and tribal markings merges with an aerial map that spreads across her forehead, creating an intriguing and futuristic vision. The intricate lines of the map resemble neural pathways or constellations, evoking a cosmic quality, while her steady gaze remains grounded and timeless. She is both a guardian of heritage and a symbol of an interconnected, technological future.

This artwork explores identity, history, and the merging of past and present, suggesting that we carry ancestral wisdom while navigating a complex, ever-evolving world. The artist envisions her as a “cyclops” not in the mythical sense, but as a singular, unifying eye that sees beyond boundaries, bridging cultures and timelines. African Cyclops invites viewers to contemplate the vast landscape of identity and the power of cultural roots intertwined with the globalised world.
