Nigerian Artist, Amanam Makes Prosthetic Limbs For Black/Dark Skin Tones

October 1, 2022 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

“John Amanam is a 32-year-old former movie special effects expert who has a passion for sculpting. A native of Nigeria, Amanam became fascinated with prosthetics after a close family member lost one of their limbs in a tragic accident. “I became emotional about amputees, They had this feeling of discomfort whenever they were around other people. I saw it as a challenge. If I could give back or solve this need, it would go a long way to ease that emotional trauma and loss of confidence. I just want them to feel at home and be whole, aesthetically.”
