Sokari Douglas Camp is a Nigerian artist who is famous or her sculptures. Her work is predominantly sculptured in steel. She takes a lot of inspiration or her work from her Nigerian heritage and culture. We were inspired by her work 'The World is Now Richer' which was made as a tribute to people who lived their lives as slaves. She shared the important message: 'We were brave, we were strong and we survived'. We created our own pieces of Art work in the same style. We thought of a word to describe an attribute that the consider to be important.
