Ori is an alter-ego rooted in self-determination, spirituality, and expansion. The name draws from Ori, the Yoruba concept of inner destiny or inner head, and from Orion, the constellation, symbolizing guidance, protection, and the act of finding one’s place in the universe. Through Ori, Oke explores identity beyond fixed roles, allowing different emotional, cultural, and spiritual states to coexist without hierarchy. As a creative vessel, ORI represents the freedom to evolve, to hold complexity, and to move between worlds, whether cultural, emotional, or physical. It is a space where queerness, ancestry, and futurism intersect, offering a language for self-expression that resists containment and insists on visibility, growth, and presence.
