In creating for installation, my concept is determined by the community history and values, the building structure, environment, and collaboration with the architectural designers and engineers.

Clients of Canadian National Institute for The Blind interact with installation.

Yisa created five public art mosaic for Ogunnubi Architectural Firm in Lagos, Nigeria in 1997 before immigrating to Canada. These mosaics were installed on prominent buildings in Ikeja, Lagos.

“The building structure, the environment, and collaboration with the architectural designers determine how I create my composition (figurative, non-figurative or abstract) so that the architecture, the environment and my work all complement one another. I take great pride in knowing the durability of my public art creations and their ability to withstand diverse weather conditions and the chance of vandalism as it is a legacy for future generations”.
