Inspired by the haunting tensions in Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart,” this painting reflects on how Africans today are spiritually anchored yet remain divided by man-made borders. The cracks represent colonial lines that continue to fracture us, even as faith becomes our lifeline in turbulent waters.In this piece, a young figure clings to the Bible while adrift in a sea of uncertainty—symbolizing how, amidst displacement and division, spirituality endures as a force of resilience. The artwork speaks to postcolonial trauma, inherited maps, and the silent endurance of the human spirit. It invites viewers to reflect on what unites us beyond imposed boundaries.
