Additional information
«How can individual letters convey a narrative and exist independently without being used in the formation of words? The illustrated letters project sought to answer this question by creating letters very much rooted in the culture of symbolism and abstraction.» Karo Akpokiere
The work is printed on 310g Hahnemühle matt paper.
Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, graphic design and textiles presented through print and electronic media, played a significant role in the formation of my visual identity.
