With its pockmarked holes, this artwork’s ruined linen surfaces offer forensic evidence of incomplete and unstable narratives where language becomes abstracted as punctures. In turning earthly material into symbolic actions, these perforations act as access points that become a makeshift refuge.

Tami Soji-Akinyemi is driven by a fascination with subjective truth, exposing the fabric of everyday life. The artist positions herself as a builder and a destroyer through truth-telling images that hint at visual clarity rather than fully revealed ones. Her paintings, prints, and sculptures explore forms of political propaganda, or ‘agenda-driven communications,’ and how they expose, reflect, and propagate our society. Her most current artworks explore the duality of emerging light and its use as a metaphor for knowledge.
