For the first time, Ebinama creates a series of rugs, handtufted in silk and wool. She deploys many of the recurrent symbols that populate the universe of her work: the eye (seeing inward and outward), the python (the messenger of Mami Wata), and the butterfly (the mark of mortality and the ephemeral). The Eleventh House represents yet another way through which the artist applies her aesthetic and philosophic concerns to real life.
