The Vanitas/Sanguinem series explores the primal nature of combat, drawing inspiration from Dambe, the traditional Nigerian form of boxing. This series captures both the raw intensity and the disciplined elegance of these fighters, transforming them into sacred icons adorned with symbolic motifs.

Using a dynamic mix of acrylic, chalk, and oil pastels on stretched canvas, the artworks evoke the visceral sensations of flesh and movement. The bold palette of reds, blacks, whites, and yellows, combined with action painting techniques like splattering, scraping, and ink transferring, creates layered textures that embody the immediacy and intensity of Dambe. Through this series, the complex interplay between beauty and destruction is brought to life, inviting viewers to delve into these profound themes.
