This was one of my earliest form of oil color painting, this work had a huge piece of me in it. I did this painting at a point where a lot was going through my mind as regarding my challenges. The story of the work actually entails the struggle of a Nigerian boy, the hardship he have to go through in other to be heard or seen in the society, his eyes say a lot about what he feels inside. The red color entails the danger he faces in the society everyday.
