Description of the Artwork “Olongbo seizure”
Description : Holiday seasons in Ajiran my home town was always a memorable one for me, from the beautiful old architecture, to the fresh organic delicious foods that my grandma "iya oni moi moi" (as she was fondly called ) makes from her mushroom kitchen with firewood on a clay stove called Aro meta ,to the friendly domestic animals that moves around town freely,most are pets who love their owners and are always loyal to them ,but the one that amazes me the most is grandma's cat , "Olongbo iya oni moi moi" ,he keeps the house clean free of rats and harmful insects ,he is happy when she is happy ,he is down when she is down , whenever she is sick the cat remian arround her, cuddling and rubbing himself all over her and before you know it she is fine again . It is the Yoruba believe that Cats takes away illness and especially death from their owners and yes Grandma confirmed this . With this piece I have captured a moment of loyalty from the cat to grandma. Olongbo iya oni moi
