Return of the Rainmaker

Artwork story

Return of the Rainmaker honours the rainmaker as a symbol of hope and renewal. The rider’s stately presence against a subdued backdrop reflects reverence for figures who bridge nature and humanity, while evoking the need for peace and balance to restore life and livelihoods.

Return of the Rainmaker serves as a metaphor for peace in conflict-affected communities of northern Nigeria, where violence has displaced farmers from their land. This work envisions the rainmaker as a symbol of calm, renewal, and the opportunity for a fresh start.
