Description

They called him a loser. Dirty. Slow. Dyslexic. (but nobody knew) Not fit. Not normal. Not enough. Exiled is the face of a child society threw away — not because he failed but because he refused to conform. Set against a backdrop of color that never welcomed him the figure carries the marks of judgment on his skin but his eyes tell another story: one of awareness resistance and quiet fire. This is not a portrait of pity. It’s a portrait of survival. Born in the streets of Lagos this figure — like the artist — learned to stand in the shadows without losing his light.
