RWAB by EKEMEZIE VICTOR IKENNA Artist Statement

Rebel with a broom; the freedom fighter of Alimosho, the series portrays the sweeper as a rebellious figure to an environmental activist which further equates to Alimosho Freedom Fighter. The sweeper passes through stages such as frustration to social neglect, stage clean ups, speaking out against complacent practices, and influencing others to take a stand. Initially shunned by the community but as the series elapses, the community becomes inspired and follows her lead.


My artwork encourages viewers to cultivate a deeper understanding of environmental responsibility, recognizing the contributions of sanitation workers and the importance of maintaining clean and healthy communities.
