Igbo Women This is a series of self-portraits performed by me where I explore the identity of these women from various periods. The women are purely fictional characters, so I chose to give a name and a date to each of them to provide them with a sense of identity. The inspiration for the series was drawn from Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe which traces the evolution of family identity from pre-colonial, through colonial and post-colonial times
