A nkisi is a container for spirits that was widely used by healers in the 19th and early part of the 20th century in the Congo area of Africa.
Nkisi for Remembrance is a contemporary and vernacular interpretation of those ritualistic sculptures created by the healer of a village to protect clients who had been wronged.
This nkisi draws from those African sculptures some of their aesthetic elements such as the use of reflective surfaces which reflect both the spirit world and the natural world.
