I’ve always been fascinated by how the ordinary things around us can carry extraordinary weight. In The Seat of Becoming, I spotlight something we often overlook, a simple yellow jerrycan. But in places like Lagos, it’s not just a plastic container. It’s a symbol. A seat. A throne. A lifeline. I grew up watching people carry them on bikes, on heads, in wheelbarrows, moving with a quiet urgency. For water. For fuel. For livelihood. It struck me how this single object has witnessed so many journeys, so many hustles, so many acts of becoming. That’s what this piece is about transformation. How people turn lack into legacy. How Lagosians make a way when there seems to be none. How we turn struggle into strong and sacred.
