In my painting titled lost and found in my quest to create a new world for people of the black race, I begin to imagine a world where Africans rule, a world where Africans are kings and queens, a world where we are leaders and rulers, a world where we set the pace, a world where we are seen as royalties. My image depicts a typical African scene with three queens and a king placed right in the middle which creates a center of focus, the subjects are faceless which was my way of depicting loss and identity crisis which has always been a dominant theme in my works.Identity and lost are the major themes of my work as I try to touch on the issues of crisis identified using newsprint on my canvas which connoted "lost and found", identity crisis is a period of uncertainty and confusion in a person's sense of identity becomes insecure, typically due to a change in their expected aims or role in society. "identity crisis is part of the reparation of slavery and colonialism".

I am a mixed media artist who uses original African fabrics and newsprint as a major element in my art, the African fabrics are used to show my identity as an African and also give an insight about my subject matter or narrative as it concerns issues regarding the African continent and the diaspora, the newsprint at the other hand, I use to seek texture and also make social commentary. Both the fabrics and newsprint put together creates a feeling of dynamism to the viewer. However, my subject matter and narrative as mixed-media artist center on historical, social, cultural issues that concern Africa in regard to cultural syncretism, identity issues, culture clash, and pride. My art sort of activism regarding the problem and issues faced by the continent of Africa which draws backs to pre-colonial and post-colonial history in reference to the setbacks it has caused for Africa today. I’m creating a new world on my canvas, a world where I can tell striking issues and narratives regarding the African society, my art is sort of activism against colonialism, slavery, and migration as these are the major causes of the crisis which Africans all over the world face and I am doing this through Afro-futurism which is the reimagining of a future filled with arts, science, and technology seen through a “black” lens.
