From his series “A Box Theory of Life” displayed in London, UK (2022)
The series is influenced by the youth and the notion of living a preconditioned destiny/life that somehow just arrives with all its layered components and complexities in modern day Nigeria: housing; transport; education; religion and work.
Life creates boxes that we tick as time goes on and living “a box life” can creep up on you figuratively and metaphorically even without you realising
