There is a Country

"In October 2020, the Lekki Shooting shook Nigeria, a horrifying tableau unfolding minutes from my doorstep. That night, fear gripped us as we clung to hope and each other. Yet, amid despair, I saw unity—an unlikely nation emerging from the shell of the old. Peter Obi’s rise two years later rekindled my faith. This led to 'There Is A Country,' my artistic response to Achebe's lament, 'There Was A Country.'

Unlike Achebe’s localized Igbo story, my narrative is a mosaic of my Delta State-Igbo heritage and Yorùbá influences. It's not just about shifting identities, but also about Nigeria's dynamic evolution, accelerated by digital globalization. This series challenges what it means to be Nigerian today, projecting a diverse, complex identity onto a global stage.

In essence, 'There Is A Country' isn't just a collection; it's a manifesto. It exists in the paradoxes, in the unity forged at Lekki, in the eyes of a new generation penning its own destiny. Despite the chaos, there's a narrative that refuses to bow—a resilient story symbolized in every brushstroke and pixel. 'There Is A Country,' a tale for today’s Nigeria, captures the enduring spirit of a people and place unwilling to be sunk.

In shadows cast where few dare tread, a spark ignites the thrill of dread. With fervor keen, they chase the strange, a seeker of the mystic range.

This piece delves into the therapeutic role of art in our lives. It highlights how art can transport us to places of calmness and tranquillity, symbolized by nature and water, providing a reprieve from the chaos of daily city life. 

Additionally, it also explores the notion of time through the imagery of a weathered classic car with a futuristic twist, reflecting on our art journey through the past and into an uncertain future.

Are You..?

I created this piece inspired by "Dreamcatchers" Some of us are affected by our dreams in some way. At times, even hold on to the memories that they become reoccurring dreams. This digital painting is my perception of such state, where the hands are the dream catchers holding on to us while we sleep with two portals where dreams come from.

Papillon

It is the story of a girl who lived through a period of history but was never seen, and though she was very artistic, she always hid from others until one day her identity was revealed. She was still trying to keep his identity a secret until she was satisfied to register herself in history. This girl's name is Lorca, and I have been trying to portray her face with the story she has in my mind so that the whole world can touch her feelings.

As you sail the raging sea, 
with waves as high as mountains 
and the shrieking, deeafening wind.

I hope you can catch a glimpse of me.
Therefore you won't be as lonely.
