Ifeoma writes, "The World We Carry is a series based on this line of thinking: what would it look like if we could see the inner worlds of those around us? How would it change our Interactions? Would it encourage empathy or judgment? How does one’s inner world compare to the expression portrayed on their face? Somewhat a play on the phrase “in my mind’s eye,” The World We Carry is a literal expression of this figurative statement, and seeks to ask these questions of the viewer. These works offer a preview of a broader series that is currently in development and encourages us to take a deeper look at interactions with ourselves and others: to view our own worlds in all their beauty and imperfection and recognize the humanity in each other."
