Afia Na Ano Ubosi Na Ano

I created ‘Afia Na Ano Ubosi Na Ano’, an 8 feet x 9 feet polyptych artwork that explores the cosmological significance of the four calendar days in Igbo cosmology. The calendar consists of these four week(market) days, 7 weeks in a moon (month) and 13 months in a year. Then an extra day at the end of the year, in the last month.

At the centre of the composition is a reimagined Uli Igbo mirror symbol rendered in bright red. This central motif connects individual panels into a single, unified cosmic dance. The background creates an abstract visual rhythm that reflects the cyclical nature of Igbo time, days, and seasons.

‘Afia na Ano’ – the four market days is a major cornerstone upon which the culture and fabric of the Igbo nation stands on.
