Samuel Nnorom's Hanging on You is a captivating mixed-media artwork, characterised by its intricate interplay of vibrant purples, blues, and golds, delicately arranged in bulbous textile clusters interwoven with thread-like green structures. The piece explores themes of interconnectedness, resilience, and the delicate balance between dependence and support. Nnorom’s signature use of upholstery materials, such as Ankara fabric, marks this work as emblematic of his style, which often delves into social and cultural narratives. However, its striking three-dimensionality and suspended, organic form might reflect an experimental evolution within his practice, pushing the boundaries of material and spatial engagement.
