“Ancestral Signal” – 30”x24” African Mask on Street Sign

This striking 30” x 24” mixed media piece reclaims a real traffic sign as its canvas, featuring a bold, hand-painted African mask that speaks to ancestry, protection, and cultural memory. Painted in 2021, this artwork is layered with textured acrylic and enamel, fusing modern street energy with ancient spiritual symbols.

Mounted with wood blocks and wire for easy hanging, the piece is structurally sound and gallery-ready. Previously shown at Busboys & Poets Southeast, “Ancestral Signal” blurs the line between sacred iconography and urban decay — a true relic of modern diasporic storytelling.
