ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the light of the prevalent turmoil and distortion around the world especially in African society and in Diasporas, it is pertinent that we start forging a way forward as a people and look deeper in history the ways of our ancestors tackled challenges in politics, health, spirituality and every aspect pertaining to the wellbeing of the people. “Agbomola” is metaphorical, it’s a call for review of our ways and philosophy and approach to life in general. As well as an ode to the sacrifices and legacy of our ancestors. Through this artwork, we are prompted to reflect on the past, learn from it, and apply those lessons to shape a brighter future. It invites us to reconsider our perspectives and embrace a renewed sense of purpose and unity.

As an artist, my practice is rooted in a deep-seated belief that art should be an active participant in the ongoing dialogue of life, a catalyst for reflection, a force for change and renewal. My work is driven by a compelling mantra: questioning the present through the past for a better future. In a world where the present often feels overwhelming, I believe there is immense power and potential in revisiting the past. By delving into history, we can unearth perspectives, narratives, and truths that have been obscured or forgotten. The past holds a mirror to the present, revealing the patterns, pitfalls, and potential paths that lay before us. In my art, I strive to create an immersive dialogue between the past and the present, stirring the viewer to question the status quo and ponder what could be. My art situates itself at the crossroads of time, a space where the past and the future intersect. It seeks to evoke a sense of temporal dislocation, provoking the viewer to challenge their perceptions and assumptions about the world around them. Often, my works are filled with historical references and anachronisms, contrasting and combining elements from different eras. This temporal layering serves as a metaphor for a world in flux and our collective journey through time. The future, to me, is not a distant, abstract concept but a tangible reality that we shape with our actions in the present. I see my art as a tool for envisioning alternative futures, a catalyst for change. Each piece is a call to action, a plea for a better tomorrow. By questioning the present through the past, my art invites viewers to envision a future that is more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable. Ultimately, my art is a form of inquiry and exploration, a visual conversation about the world and our place in it. It is a reflection of my belief in the transformative power of art and its potential to inspire change. By exploring the interplay of the past, present, and future in my work, I hope to stir a sense of curiosity, provoke thoughtful reflection, and inspire a commitment to creating a better future.
