Weeks before I started painting, the sentence “country dey burn, una dey dance” (the country is on fire, you’re dancing) was stuck in my heart. I didn’t know how I wanted to express it at the time but I picked up my canvas and started painting. This work reflects the paradox of our time, a world consumed by conflict, economic hardship, and loss, while everyday life continues almost uninterrupted. It is not a condemnation of joy, but a question about our growing ability to normalize suffering. As the bus moves forward, so do we sometimes dancing, sometimes surviving, often unaware of the flames beyond our window.
