"Anya Ukwu" is a symbolic representation of the feminine embodiment of Chi, the Igbo concept of a personal god or spirit. The semi-abstract female figure, depicted in a powerful and serene pose, holds an apple between her legs, signifying fertility, abundance, and the cycles of life. The apple, a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, is surrounded by a vine, representing the connection between the physical and spiritual realms. In Igbo tradition, the Chi is believed to guide and protect individuals, and the feminine form is often associated with the nurturing and life-giving aspects of the divine.
