Gateway of Renewal

This piece envisions the legendary entrance to the Benin royal palace as a metaphorical gateway into Nigeria’s next era. Civets, known for resilience and nocturnal vigilance, mirror our national will to endure, adapt and thrive. Their mirrored stance frames a central axis, inviting the viewer into an unseen world where myth, architecture and design converge. It is a portal—and a metaphor—for a nation stepping into its future.
