Ekow Nimako: Afrofuturistic Sculptures in Black LEGO

Using thousands of black LEGO bricks, Ghanaian-Canadian artist Ekow Nimako explores legends and folklore of the African diaspora — creating figurative embodiments of allegorical creatures and spiritual beings inspired by ceremonial masks, interstellar travel, machines, and geometric forms. Through a single modular medium, he highlights cultural phenomena from graffiti writing to sprawling Afrofuturistic metropolises. Source: This Is Colossal
