There are a couple of explanations to the missing head in Skipping Girl. The artist, #YinkaShonibare, has said he doesn't give heads to his sculptures is so that the viewer can move away from race identification. Another interpretation could be made about the relationship between the sculpture and overall West African belief. The Yoruba people believe that the Ashe or spirit is located in the head. During colonization the Yoruba people perceived the new governing agents as being missing their Ashe or their sprit, in this way the artist is also commenting on the legacy of colonization.
