Repolly · Nsukka/Enugu State · Nigeria
This mixed media relief sculpture incorporates wood and electronic components, featuring a textured and painted surface. The dominant color is green, complemented by touches of gold, silver, and blue. A butterfly, adorned with wood-cut motifs and electronic elements, is positioned at the bottom left. The artwork consists of wood cut into cubes and squares, arranged in a circular formation, with a central piece representing nature.
This artwork is inspired by the butterfly, which ventures out daily with the intention of influencing its environment. The butterfly's impact extends to various aspects of life, including industrialization, settlement, and health, often unnoticed. It serves as a reminder of the potential for small actions to create significant change. Through this piece, I aim to encourage viewers to draw inspiration from the butterfly, embracing the opportunity to shine, fly, and positively influence the world around them.
