Description:
I Am Not My Hair II continues Elizabeth Chioma Ekpetorson’s profound meditation on identity, perception, and liberation. Composed of intricate, angular geometry and expressive color fields, the work radiates emotional depth and power. Shades of violet, indigo, and cobalt blue converge to form a striking visage framed by cascading, abstracted forms that evoke hair—yet resist being defined by it.

Through her textured layers of acrylic and charcoal, Ekpetorson dismantles the superficial associations often tied to appearance, inviting a dialogue about essence, autonomy, and cultural expression. The interplay of sharp edges and fluid movement mirrors the tension between how we are seen and who we truly are.
