Sculpture & Installation
Working with recycled glass, concrete, marine debris, and textiles, Adélakun's sculptural practice transforms found materials and textile waste into vessels for ancestral memory and ecological witness. The work examines material as a carrier of both history and erasure, creating monuments that hold space for diasporic knowledge and oceanic memory.
