The Rest of Her Remains 2010

Njideka Akunyili Crosby's 2010 work "The Rest of Her Remains" depicts a woman lying on a bed, her body partially covered by a blanket. The bedspread is made up of a collage of images, which are a hallmark of Crosby's style. This technique reflects the artist's experiences growing up between Nigeria and the United States, blending Western and African visual cultures. The piece's muted color palette adds to its contemplative mood, inviting viewers to reflect on the nature of rest and the complexities of identity.
