Description

Around 2000 BC, the Ekoi people in present-day Nigeria had developed a unique form of ideographic writing called Nsibidi. Nsibidi and the Egyptian Hieroglyphics share some characters. They were taught to select secret groups that exuded power and authority. This collection pays homage to one of the ancient and rarest languages in Africa. Nsibidi is the text of understanding be it for English or manifestation of will; its potential is still unknown because it's shrouded in mystery till today.
