The Dogon Dezign
This is one of the first MAIA Bey originals, it fashioned after a combination of mask dancers and the stilts dancers. They may have etched designs in the leather also.
Door of No Return
Another MAIA Bey original, earArt of infinite possibilities. Crafted after the place on Goree Island in Senegal, West Afrika; of the final exit point of Africans into the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The earrings have mirrors to symbolically represent a journey through a door into a different world.
MAIA Bey
Modern African Inspired Arts is my personal Sankofa, its my symbolic and living, breathing reclamation of the past and utilizing it to push forward into the future. Sankofa allows us to be ourselves, respect the ancestral connection and gives us permission to enter into the future as a whole being, hopefully taking with us a worthwhile legacy. |
