“Iru Oku”—an Igbo phrase meaning “Face of Fire”—is a powerful reinterpretation of West Africa’s renowned Benin Bronzes. Fusing ancient craftsmanship with future-conscious design, the piece captures the enduring spirit of African creativity and resistance. Like fire, it symbolizes transformation, illumination, and ancestral power—burning through historical erasure and igniting conversations on heritage, sustainability, and identity. With this piece, Stanley Anigbogu doesn’t just honor the past—he reclaims and reshapes it for future generations.
