In So Black Iโ€™m Bright, Tella uses poignant lyrical snippets from self-aware hip hop as titles.  This body of work is centered on the pan-African origins, remembrances and Black empowerment lyrics in Hip Hop.  Black Body Bright Quest is a representation of the work each of us, easily โ€œuntouchablesโ€ in the modern global caste system, must persevere in to follow our soulโ€™s quest, our journey or as defined in Yoruba cosmology, our Ori, oneโ€™s destiny.  This piece evokes the truth of existences of generations of folk of African origin.  From the series, I use poignant lyrical snippets from hip hop as titles of the work.  This body of work is centered on the pan-African origins, remembrances and Black empowerment lyrics in Hip Hop.
