"The Bright Women" is a body of glass portraits depicting the artist herself, her older sister, and their mother. Nearly ten years after her move to the United States from Nigeria, Layo Bright reflects on the relationship between her and the women in her immediate family, as they navigate their respective lives in different locations of the world while staying connected. Layo Bright’s (b. 1991 in Lagos, Nigeria) Bloom series celebrates resilience and identity, created through intricate handmade glass portraits of women within her community. These new works explore the intersections of identity, migration, cultural adaptation, visibility and resistance.
