Stake attention in this memory
A framed, mixed-media artwork is mounted on a plain white wall in a facility within Itirin, Nigeria. The artwork depicts an older, dark-skinned man smiling broadly, positioned slightly to the viewer's right. He wears a dark red beanie, constructed from small, bead-like elements, and a light-colored, striped shirt beneath a darker vest or jacket, both rendered with a textured, linear technique. His face is meticulously crafted from fine, light-colored textural elements, creating high-contrast features, prominent wrinkles, and a wide, toothy grin. The man is shown holding or surrounded by a large, three-dimensional pile of crumpled, aged newspapers physically integrated into the artwork. Multiple visible newspaper mastheads read "PUNCH," a Nigerian publication. Prominent headlines include "CRISIS cripples scheme," "Nigerians attack Buhari," "We have difficulty servicing debts - FG," and references to "ECOWAS goods." The background of the artwork is a dark blue/black with reddish undertones. The piece is enclosed within a black frame with a slender gold inner border. A partial signature, "omehiobo oulando '20," is visible in the lower right corner. To the left of the artwork, glimpses of a modern interior space with colored, geometric designs and artificial lighting are visible.
