Nomo Die and Nommo Titiayn

 

This vinyl mural sits on a wall outside the Contemporary Museum of Art in downtown Raleigh.  Photographer Mikael Owunna created it by painting the models' bodies in ultraviolet paint and then photographing them in darkness with an ultraviolet light.  The artist's goal is to transform the images we see in Black bodies.

Nomo Die and Nommo Titiayn are twin gods in West African cosmology.   (See here)
