A Vibe Called Tech in partnership with Faber Publishing commission to create an artwork as part of the launch week promotion for Akwaeke Emezi's novel Dear Senthuran. Using sustainable materials and textiles, this piece explores notions of identity and family in response to Emezi’s Masks/Dear Maki letter from the book. Taking inspiration from African embroidery traditions, Enam interprets the cultural artistry through a contemporary lens. Dear Maki, an entity of many, masked by one or none. Searching for the whole, is a cracking of the many faces we wear - a breaking apart in attempt to reach the true essence, BEING.”
