The nkisi is a unique and powerful symbol of African traditionalism,

and seeing one in the form of a Coptic bound book is a testament to the creativity and adaptability of African cultures. While Coptic Christians and African traditionalists may have their differences, they also share a common heritage and a deep respect for the power of art and spirituality. The merging of these two traditions in the form of a Coptic bound book is a beautiful and inspiring example of cultural exchange and artistic expression.

I wanted to add a touch of culture to my work, and Ankara fabric was the perfect solution.

I started experimenting with different ways to use it as decorative book cloth, and the results were amazing.
