Wuh.ey – Between myth, digital presence and timelessness

Wuh.ey chronicles a new visual language in which African spirituality, urban reality, and digital imagination merge. His visual worlds emerge from a profound exploration of the question: What remains of myth in a world that constantly recodes itself? Between the sacred ornaments of the ancestors and the symbols of global consumerism, hybrid figures unfold—neither entirely real nor virtual, neither past nor future.

The figures in Wuh.ey's works appear like timeless witnesses to a postcolonial present. They wear masks made of shells, pearls, plastic, gold, and brand logos—relics and relics at once. Their bodies move in spaces of transition: on streets, in bars, at markets, between washing machines and sacred ornaments. Wuh.ey confronts us with the simultaneity of ritual and pop, of identity and projection.

His work is not a commentary, but a mirror. It poses questions of origin and memory anew, beyond ethnographic clichés. A subtle tension vibrates in each image between dignity and rebellion, between transformation and wounding. The series' aesthetic is precise and opulent, yet its impact goes deeper: It calls for a new perspective on the Afro-diasporic experience—free, polyphonic, self-determined.

With his digital portraits, Wuh.ey doesn't imagine a future of technology, but rather a future of memory. His art is an act of reconquest—visually, culturally, spiritually.
