This painting reflects Olumo Rock as a place of refuge, merging its cave-like formations with the arches and columns of the Duomo. Shadowy silhouettes within the rock evoke protection, survival, and community, while the cathedral elements suggest spiritual gathering and continuity. Wrapped in layered Adire textures and softened by warm light, the work expresses legacy as both physical shelter and inherited identity—where architecture and nature converge to protect life and preserve memory.

Shelter Skin is a structured garment inspired by protection and belonging. Drawing on the refuge offered by Olumo Rock and the spiritual shelter of the Duomo, the piece wraps the body in layers of Adire fabric, with a refined silk interior. Its form evokes both armour and embrace, symbolising community, safety, and the continuity of heritage across generations.
