Body as a home for the sun

Materialized by Joshua Effiong on Monday, March 20th 2023.

The idea of this art was hatched when I considered the concept of how the body rejuvenates, and repairs itself. It seeks to portray the underlying factors strengthening our bodies. As the sun has the ability to produce its own energy so does the body amidst all her encumbrances.

Joshua Effiong is a writer and digital artist from the Örö people of Nigeria. Author of a poetry chapbook Autopsy of Things Left Unnamed (2020). His works has been published or forthcoming in 580 split, Wrongdoing Magazine, Vast Literary Press, Native Skin and elsewhere.

Will you still love me when I am a worm? I still love you. Your voice rumbling in the darkness / Your song in the morning.
