Description

This piece reimagines regality through the quiet strength of a feline form, adorned with the timeless patterns of Malian mudcloth. Crafted with acrylic, sand,  wax and fabric, the textured surface echoes the tactile richness of bògòlanfini, a textile deeply rooted in tradition and storytelling.

More than just a creature of grace and independence, the cat becomes a living embodiment of heritage—its sleek form woven with the geometric language of mudcloth, a visual narrative passed down through generations. Earthy tones ground the piece in the organic beauty of the African landscape, while the interplay of materials adds depth, evoking the handcrafted essence of traditional textile-making.

This piece is a tribute to resilience and transformation, honoring the past while embracing evolution. Bogolan Majesty speaks to the unseen forces that shape culture, the beauty of traditions that continue to unfold, and the power of those who do not need to command attention to hold it.
