Samuel Nnorom often refers to himself as a "guardian of material culture". His work is a poetic fusion of textile recycling and a profound sociological reflection on the human condition. By using fabrics from Ankara to cover intricate constellations of foam balls, Nnorom presents a visual metaphor for the "fabric of society". His artistic production presents itself as a mirror that reflects the interwoven threads of society, inciting viewers to question prevailing narratives. A work that delves into material culture to evoke self-interrogation and critical thinking about socio-political structures, while simultaneously challenging our understanding of the truth and conspiracy contained in the bubbles that surround our daily lives.
