Orí embodies the ancestral knowledge of destiny, the spirit that cyclically returns to the earth. Orí Inú represents our inner spirit, while Orí Odé serves as its physical vessel, containing its essence. At birth, we choose an Orí Inú whose form is already contained within the Orí Odó, carrying our predetermined destiny. Regardless of its nature, this destiny guides us towards fulfilling our purpose of transcending and reuniting with the energy of an Orisha. In this exhibition, Lizette Nin explores the concept of Orí Odé through various visual representations, symbolizing our temporary connection to the earthly realm and the eventual transcendence of our physical bodies back to the source of our creation. While these conical forms were traditionally crafted using cowrie shells and natural materials, they now appear deconstructed and transformed. Made from paper, they adopt a minimalist aesthetic. Images and drawings of cowrie shells are printed onto the paper, engaging in a dialogue with botanical, animal, and human elements. This juxtaposition highlights the modern dichotomies that separate nature from culture, body from soul, and the human from the divine. These artworks represent the energy to which we will eventually return—a testament to the Orí Inú of black souls, transcending beyond the confinement of heads and reconnecting with spiritual roots erased by centuries of colonial violence. They serve as vessels for our black souls, embodying the longing for a spiritual homecoming and reclaiming our cultural heritage.
