The man's expression is calm and meditative, inviting the viewer to take a moment to pause and reflect. However, upon closer inspection, the artwork reveals itself to be more than just a relaxed pose. This juxtaposition of the human form with the head of a monkey represents the interconnectedness of all living beings. The title of the artwork, "Inside on Paper," suggests that the man is reading or reflecting on the news printed in the newspaper. This is a commentary on the importance of being informed and aware of the world around us. The monkey's head symbolizes the impact that human actions have on the natural world and the importance of taking responsibility for our impact on the environment. The bright colors used in the artwork also carry significance. The vibrant hues of blue, orange, and yellow evoke a sense of joy and vitality, creating a whimsical and playful atmosphere.

Contemplating Abundance
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
In a world brimming with abundance, a man finds himself caught in the depths of introspection. Lost in thought, he stands before a plate of luscious fruits, their vibrant colors and succulent aromas beckoning to his senses. Yet, his focus transcends the immediate gratification of indulgence as he delves into the realm of profound contemplation. Contemplating Abundance" captures the complex interplay between the physical and the metaphysical, the material and the intellectual. It prompts us to pause, question, and to appreciate the richness of our existence beyond superficial desires. It urges us to delve deeper, savoring not only the fruits before us but the profound contemplation that accompanies the abundance of life itself.
