The work is a series of “ex-voto”, miniature votive offerings to አድባር. Ghostly images of living (or once living) women from my family are encased in delicate sheets of Gum Arabic (Gum Acacia), where one can catch glimpses of the አድባር as she moves between terrestrial conduits, seeping out through the liquid sap of the Acacia tree, as she takes on no visible otherwise.
