Even today, Bamazi’s life and art have been fueled by his passion for the Africanculture. The calabash, a large, woody gourd, is an important and recurringsymbol in Bamazi’s work. The calabash is an African symbol of sustenance,hospitality, and fertility and is highly revered culturally for its nourishment andreliability. Beyond the edible fruit, the dried and hallowed calabash aboundswith pragmatic purposes-for serving or storing food, acting as a vessel, orcrafting ritual regalia. Bamazi depicts the calabash ethereally floating in thepictorial space. It is profound in both its simplicity and significance.
