According to West African Igbo myth, after the shattering of the primordial world and the death and resurrection of His feminine double, Chukwu, the masculine polarity of the Igbo Primordial Androgynous Deity, never fully recovers from the traumatic shock of the event. Discerning the inevitable shortcomings from this new existential state, Chukwu decides to leave the physical universe behind, return to His solitary pillared chamber (Ozi-Obi-Chukwu), and lock the Door of Mercy (Uzo Ogo) behind Himself.
Chukwu’s Retreat from the World
Chukwu, the masculine polarity of the Igbo Primordial Androgynous Deity, never fully recovers from the traumatic shock of the death and resurrection of His feminine counterpart Eke-Nnechukwu.

Photographic Process
In the photographs of Infinite Essence and Cosmologies, Owunna leverages his training as an engineer to explore the nuances of darkness and light. He employs ultraviolet strobes, painted fluorescent backdrops, and carefully hand painted nude bodies of Black models that only glow under ultraviolet light. When he then photographs the models in total darkness, the shutter snaps, and for that fraction of a second, synchronized beams of ultraviolet light illuminate a glowing scene that reanimates tableaus of creation from the archive of African diasporic myth.
