Born from the Dead


 Born from the Dead

A painting and a silhouette expression of three different flowers growing from the same stem which grows right out if a Buried Baby's Belly Button.

The hyssop - A symbol of substitution, transfer of guilt on the sacrificial lamb. (Reminds you of someone?)

The Rose - A symbol of enduring passion, humility, perfection and eternal love.(only one man fits perfectly into that)

The Dogwood - A symbol of ressurection and rebirth.(I bet you know who its all about now)

Only the Gospel saves, it is the news that your sins are forgiven and God accepts you if you believe. It is Gods power to save man. 

The seed (Jesus) fell to the ground and from him life eternal sprung up (Christ) at ressurection. He is alive today indwelling everyone who believes. Hallelujah!

Hall of Fame

Image
  I have been thinking and in my thoughts, I puzzled on fame . Description From top left; an illustration of friends drifting apart, two people fighting and the third minding his business, one climbing up the stairs of Fame and the other helping by pushing him up and hoping he would pull him up the moment he gets there.  From top right; an illustration of someone doing nothing but laying on the bed, one stabbing the other in conflict, and another who appears to have given up being tired of it all.  A human head which appears out of darkness and seems to be trapped in a box right at the center. Discuss In our society today, the struggle to 'blow' or be famous and rich is everywhere and everyone seems to be involved in a way or another. It is worthy of acknowledgement that some people are actually selfless in their hustle and they do not mind making sacrifices to help others up. But more apparently, people are turning against one another in the competition for fame. It is b...

The Spoiler's Shoe

Image
  Description Broken human bones crushed by a big shoe with a human figure trying to push it off and another trying to press it down the more. A human face revealed in the shoe shaped tear. Different shades of brown color depicting dirt (politics is said to be a dirty business). Discuss Most aftrican societies have a common challenge: corruption. Most of the blame have been credited to the political leaders over the years but in recent times, people have started considering the role of the common man in the problem that plagues our society: corruption. The upper class oppressing the lower class seem to be impossible in today's social setting without the cooperation of part of the people in the lower class. Fela Anikulapo once said, "it is bad when the whites oppress the blacks, but when the blacks oppress the blacks, that's worse." This is a remake of a sculpture I made in 2018 and it was made into drawing because this thought is still very much relevant and the truth...

AWO

Image
I spent the early weeks of the year 2021 engaging my mind. This piece reflects one of my thoughts. Description An illustration of three human figures joining heads in a meeting. One holds a gun, the other holds a flower and what the one at the center holds is not revealed. A human face emerges from the joining of their heads with bias light and sharpness features from on eye side to the other. The background appears to be an illustration of evening time in a desert area with a mountain relief in the distance. Discuss A Yoruba saying goes thus: "Awo níí gbawo nígbòwó, báwo o bá gbawo nígbòwó, awo a té, awo a ya."  It by interpretation means members of a cult or very close friends ought to be there to help each other. If they fail to, their friendship is ridiculed and will be destroyed. This saying captures the elements of trust and betrayal in friendship.  In my thoughts, I seek to find the truth about the possibilities of loyalty  and trust in friendship. Many times, the ...
