Many of my early themes covered Nigerian culture and religious folklore. Egbe is the story of the most senior members of a secret women’s society who travel to the forest to change into birds.
I’ve Been Changed is to show feathers used for the change to birds.
This Egbe gourd displays the many feathers used and unused during the transformation from woman to bird.
