Reception welcomes visitors to the city, fulfilling a Nigerian tradition that visitors should be welcomed by the most beautiful woman within the house and offered a gift. Reception is a stone cast sculpture of an African woman, dressed in traditional attire, holding a drinking gourd.

His works are on display at several Atlanta locations, as well as in the private collection of former President Jimmy Carter and home of Maya Angelou.
