His practice involves crafting imaginary worlds and characters that reflect and comment on our own reality.

“Giving reverence to the original place of worship, these heavenly bodies have been cast down to Earth & wrapped in precious material representing the height of its magnificence. One who sees themself as a vessel containing the infinite must see the body as the true temple of God. An expression of the divine through the human figure. 

Gold: Uniquely beautiful, gold embodies opulence. This color not only holds the essence of physical wealth but of achievement and virtue. 

Pearl: Pure is the essence of the soul. An embodiment of innocence that is unaffected by the human condition. No matter the strife we go through, our souls will always be precious as pearls. 

Black: Richness and depth. It exudes power and evokes authority. The aura of the unknown gives it a seductive air. 

Imbued with the spirit of the times and its creator, artifacts carry the stories of humanity. It teaches us who we have been and helps lead us to where we want to be. “ - Ugo Agoruah
