Hi all!
Today, I share with you more artwork I found on a fence close to a busy way in Nwaniba, Uyo. These works like I said earlier depicts traditional lifestyle and culture of the people of Akwa Ibom. It is more like a village scene where they take you back to the oldies.
The first depicts an elderly man riding a bicycle. He is on a traditional outfit.
The above is followed by a boy breaking a fallen tree with an axe. The pieces would be used as firewood.
The next piece I saw was an old woman carrying a bunch of palm fruit on her head and hold a knife with the other hand.. it's obvious she's coming from the farm..
Another piece I took is a woman pounding something. This people love pounded yam and I guess that's what she's pounding.
More photos are below...
That's all for now. I could find more later on and share with you.
Cheers!
All Photos were taken by me using Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ device.
Thank you.
Cool. Keep it up!
