This piece was curlled from a blogger called DIHS - Enjoy what he got to say about my work...“Where is your home?” … “As in, where are you based?” … “Where do you spend most of your time living?” … ‘ooooh! Facebook!’ Qudus Onikeku was born and raised in Nigeria. But where is his home? He sits, crossed legged, and speaks as if having a personal conversation. He would like to know, where is home?

We live in a world devoid of varieties in expressive forms. A world where there is so much to express, but the only way to communicate our reflection and express our views, feelings, ideas and emotion, has been limited to either oral or literary means. However, the human mind often takes us to a conceptual and complex realm, which we sometimes are unable to convey in words. So one thing I have

That the humanness of the west flourish on the basis of how much they can methodically examine in detail, the constitution of the other,

The itinerant dance of Qudus Onikekuby Deborah Rocha · 25 June 2009Round squares, uneven grass yards, narrow streets and dead-end alleys.
