Green & Black Nigeria - This piece was created on Nigeria's independence day, using the green colour to represent our flag and the tears to show the struggle against poor governance, corruption and insecurity. It was created in 2020 after the End Sar protest that saw the death of over a hundred Nigerians who were only protesting and begging for their democratic right to freedom of speech and movement
which the corrupt arm of the police force had infringed upon. MAMA - This article discussed the power of a mother's love, which enables her to perceive you differently from the judgments of the world. I depicted this concept through an artwork featuring her eyeglasses. One lens of the eyeglasses was transparent, symbolizing her genuine perception of your true self, while the other lens was obscured, representing her deliberate choice of what to see.
