The painting summons the childish compositions and caricature accuracy of cartoons while tackling a very serious issue: Poverty in Africa’s most populous city, Lagos. Everyone comes to Lagos for "a breath of fresh" but it ends up choking them out with a high cost of living. These contrasting elements are woven together in this piece that’s inspired by what I see en route to work daily in my community
