Wenger/Olorisha uses angular figuration and size to differentiate divine subjects from others, as is characteristic of Yoruba aesthetic. Wenger’s art was inspired by Yoruba cosmology, however, her works were idiosyncratic rather than faithful representations of the pantheon, more representative of Wenger’s search for Jungian primordial archetype.
