Using transparent nylon cords, hundreds of ceramic fragments are strung together at specific heights and positions to simulate vases of various shapes and sizes.
Ngozi-Omeje Ezema, who trained and teaches at the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, represents a new generation of African artists bringing an ancient traditional art form into the present.
