222: divine timing

222: divine timing is a multidisciplinary performance project that sits at the intersection of performance, ritual practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration, drawing from somatic movement, improvisational composition, and traditions of divination across diasporic and ancestral lineages. Our work contributes to a growing field of artists who are reimagining performance as a site of ceremony, healing, and collective gathering.

  • Originally structured into 4 parts, this piece moves through 4 pivotal arcs of:  listening, witnessing, trance, and alignment. Each section is guided by a sonic landscape, including works by Nina Simone, Yma Sumac, Adelf Uti and Eden Ahbez. These compositions craft the emotional and energetic terrain of the performance

    Dancer and Visual artist– movement and grief alchemist: both exchange prayers and tarot cards as the intention of divination is cast upon them. The movement alchemist embodies sensation, memory, and energetic transmutation, whilst the artist transcribes these experiences in visual art form. The results are not illustrative– instead they are tangible and constantly evolving with every interaction of gathering. 

Two art forms working in tandem with the same intention: divination. 

The Soul Journey: A Living Ritual

A prayer in eleven parts exploring the soul's cycles of conception, loss, and rebirth.

The Soul Journey is my first major collection—an immersive exploration of grief as a sacred teacher. Each piece serves as both altar and mirror, mapping the soul's passage from Conception to Rebirth. This collection emerged as a living ritual, first shared through an exhibition that combined visual art, altar-building, and sound healing—creating a space where the community could remember that art, too, can be ceremony.

  • Conception: Womb Magic

    The beginning. The unseen. The remembering.

    Womb Magic honors the process of conception and the sacred intelligence of the womb — the first portal. Where soul meets body. Where spirit prepares to become form. This is the place where magic is made.

  • Birth of a Soul

    That quiet, sacred moment when a soul chooses to return.

    Birth of a Soul is the breath before breath. The stillness before descent. It’s the remembrance of why we came, wrapped in light, trust, and divine timing.

  • Kindred Spirits

    You’ve been here before.

    Kindred Spirits holds the gathering — the soul kin who meet us at the edge. They wait beside the portal, whispering encouragement. These are the ones we recognize when we return. The ones who help us remember.

  • Maternal Bonds

    Our first home. Our first mirror.

    Maternal Bonds explores the sacred and complicated portal of the mother — the place where our journey begins, often shaped by ancestral memory, but also by rupture. Colonialism tried to sever that line. This piece is about what still lives.

  • The Unbalanced Soul

    When the world teaches you not to be you.

    The Unbalanced Soul reflects what it means to grow up in a world that asks you to shrink, to perform, to forget your fire. For me, it holds the early years — growing up in Nigeria, learning to be the “good girl,” while my soul had other plans.

  • The Wandering Soul

    When belonging feels like a myth.

    The Wandering Soul is about searching — for home, for meaning, for a place to lay down your grief. It’s what happens when survival becomes the center. You move. You cope. But you still ache for return.

Additional Gratitude

With special gratitude to Karis Utiaruk, Dori Ard, Tanya Pereira, Viva Allen & Terry Adams for their foundational support.

Together, we wove a space where every element—light, sound, scent, and storytelling—became part of the offering. These moments are fragments of that sacred unfolding, a testament to the collective energy that moved through us all.
