Signed, Archival Dye Sublimation Aluminum Metal Print

Our collector's editions are archival prints signed and numbered by artist Mikael Owunna in limited edition, with only nine that will ever be produced. Due to their limited, archival, and signed nature, collector's editions accrue value over time, make a priceless addition to your collection, and are a valuable long-term investment. Mikael Owunna collector's edition pieces have been acquired by major museums, private collections, and institutions across the world, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University; Davidson College Van Every / Smith Galleries; Equal Justice Initiative; Duke University Pratt School of Engineering; and Middlebury College Museum of Art.

This archival print is printed directly onto aluminum with a brilliant white high gloss surface for unsurpassed detail and vibrance. The white gloss surface creates a glass-like, vibrant finish for each piece with deep blacks and a stunning 3-Dimensional effect. Each print comes complete with an aluminum brace hanging system, which allows the artwork to float frameless off the wall as if it were floating through space, and is backed with 1/4" of Sintra for added durability and weight. Collector's Edition is signed and numbered by Owunna. 

Developing within the Nommo’s ark during its descent to Earth from Sirius, the first human ancestors in Dogon cosmology begin to transform from their unarticulated form as Anagonna Bile and gain 7 articulations, mirroring the growth of the fetus in the womb. These first eight human ancestors will exit the Nommo’s ark (i.e. be born) in this form, and as they step foot on Earth, they gain 22 articulations and become “Inne” (persons). Inne represents the developed human being in Dogon cosmology. With these 22 articulations, the bodies of the first humans become complete, and they proceed to walk and breathe on earth, with their fish gills transformed into a form of terrestrial respiration. They carry their spiritual principles in their clavicles.
