prelude one, 2024
Across five panels, a request for a blessing unfolds. The work stages a ritual of safekeeping,
a gesture toward passage into the divine. Made as part of the Conditions Studio Programme,
the video responds to an ongoing exploration of Blackness and faith.
“Altars everywhere are sites of ritual communication with heaven, ancestors, and spirits,
marking the boundary between the ordinary world and the world of the spirits.”
