My process of using screwdrivers is inspired by baKongo (Congolese) practice called “Bibaaku,” which is the action of inserting nails or pieces of metal into a Nkisi Nkondi. A Nkisi Nkondi is a Congolese statute that is used to bind an agreement, keep away malevolent spirits, drive away people intent on doing harm, or prevent or cure illnesses. With the Nkisi Nkondi nails indicating the number of times the sculpture was ritually activated. The screwdrivers which I used as a child during the civil war as a means of protection, are now disconnected from their primordial use as a weapon. Being used within another context, the efficacy of the screwdrivers is for the aesthetic, philosophical, and emotional dimensions on my masks. In the same way, the nails are inserted into the Nkisi Nkondi, the welded screwdrivers on my masks indicate the number of times my sculptures are ritually activated positivity rather than violence and its forms within my community.
