I am a Nigerian multimedia artist with political concerns for human
rights and justice. Through drawing, installation sculpture,
photography, video and performance (live art); i strive to help viewers
understand the world and expanding their understanding and experiences,
so that they can activate and renew their lives and environments.
For
over decade, I have put my art at service of the prevailing concerns of
our times; especially those issues that threatening our collective
existence and the sustenance of our universe. The contents of these
concerns ranging from psychosocial and emotional effects of the
traumatic events such violence, war, poverty, corruption, climate
change, etc., that associated with our warring world have dominate my
artistic forms.
