PUZZLED
September 2022
Manhattan
New York City, United States
A contemporary take on pop art using African representation from each corner of the continent in their traditional form as a connecting thread. The exhibition merges passion for music with engineering, product design, and art. Canvases cut in the shape of jigsaw puzzles create optical illusions; a world where there is no incorrect answer. The unmistaken presence of rice, which is Nissi's signature extraneous material of choice in majority of her works is used to signify the importance of community.
