"Echoes of Ancestry II" Original African Mask Wooden Modern Art Wall Sculpture

Echoes of Ancestry II is a powerful fusion of African heritage and contemporary expression, crafted to provoke thought and invite reflection on identity, perception, and truth.

Hand-built from ¾ inch PureBond plywood, each strip is meticulously cut, layered, and shaped to form the stylized mask structure, highlighting both precision and raw material integrity. The surface is finished in rich satin enamel paint, enhancing the bold geometry and adding a smooth, modern sheen that contrasts beautifully with the wood’s natural texture.

While inspired by the sacred traditions of African mask-making, this piece moves beyond symbolism. It explores the psychological layers we present to the world—the invisible masks worn daily to hide fear, manipulate perception, or gain approval. Behind every polished exterior may lie something unspoken.

This sculpture blends organic craftsmanship with a contemporary edge, offering more than visual impact, it’s a call to presence, to vigilance, and to the courage of seeing beyond illusion.
