In the traditions of Central Africa, certain masks were associated with symbolic representations of duality—between light and darkness, strength and vulnerability, balance and imbalance.


Its bipartite face, marked by the contrast between a light surface and a dark red hue, conveys this tension through form and color.


Carved from wood and enhanced with pigments, this mask offers a contemporary interpretation, extending a visual language inherited from these traditions.
