Woody Othello’s first solo museum exhibition in Miami, coming forth by day reflects his deep connection to the city and his ongoing exploration of his ancestral heritage. Through material experimentation and sculptural gesture, the exhibition considers how objects carry history, absorb meaning, and serve as vessels for both spiritual and emotional experience.

Rooted in precolonial and diasporic African traditions, Othello draws inspiration from spiritual practices, hermetic philosophy, and cultural artifacts—including nkisi power figures, Dogon ritual objects, and Egyptian pyramids. His anthropomorphic sculptures, with their richly glazed surfaces, suggest a quiet vitality—the forms appear to lean, rest, or embrace, as if shaped by the weight of memory and emotion.
