aàdesokan: almost delirium
Lagos (NG), 2017
“Every type of fear is simply just an iteration of fear of the unknown. The cycle of life however, points to the inevitability of this unknown- at any point in time, we simply cannot know, try as hard as we might. Who we are, who others are, what our purpose is- these questions continue to baffle me. Aàdesokan posits through this body of work, the edge of delirium arrives when one gives in to the inevitability of uncertainty. The artist is found exploring a state of mind during a period of clinical depression and has drawn these faces to engage in dialogue with.”
