This art work consists of of a gigantic bowl and a spoon with dimensions of about 250cm x 29cm x 150cm,both wire meshed apertures plastered all over with globs of clay.
Here the artist attempts to express a personal experience a lot of people can relate to;the frustration and gross disappointment he usually feels when after coming back to the house after a very busy day exhausted and hungry he enters the kitchen of the house where he resides only to find all the dishes all gleaming emptily, especially when he expects that those in his household who are responsible for preparing his meals to have taken care of that.Once again the artist uses simple visual representations and proportional distortion in this artwork as a visual metaphor to illustrate the poignant political state of Nigeria as a democratic republic and the shoddy impact the insensitive policies of her governing bodies has on her less privileged citizens, contrary to the expectations they have of them.
