This work depicts a recently married young woman sitting on a low wall showing off her engagement ring. She is adorned with choice jewelry (jigida) and is in a celebratory mood. Her upbeat countenance is however contrasted by the lyrics of the Igbo song written on the low wall beneath her.
The song written by renowned Igbo musician Nelly Uchendu talks about a young woman bemoaning to her mother about her lost (or broken) water pot. She asks whether to leave her pot or to follow it (to extinction).
This work of art attempts to capture the moment an individual reflects about life events, and what to do next.
