Haunted by the fear of forgetting her late father, a young artist returns to her ancestral home in Nok, Jaba local government of Kaduna state in Nigeria, where clay once served as photography for an ancient civilization. Guided by her grandfather and family, she uncovers how memory outlives the body. Through sculpting, she learns that remembrance does not vanish, it only changes form.
