"THE WATER THAT TOOK US HOME" portrays an Igbo ancestor with flowing locks suspended in the air, poised at the ocean's edge, where a colonial ship awaits to enslave her. Her skin, rendered in black and white, symbolizes the essence of Black ancestral souls.

This poignant artwork narrates the compelling story of the Igbo community's choice to end their lives rather than endure enslavement. It embodies the powerful and heart-wrenching decision to opt for freedom over slavery, a profound testament to the choice between life and death.
