Erhire H. Ojaide
Statement
“Erhire H. Ojaide’s current art project revolves around the theme of ‘BREAKAGE.’ His work delves into the impact of oil spillage on both the environment and the cultural identity of the Niger Delta community in Nigeria. Through his art, Ojaide aims to shed light on the reckless environmental abuse occurring in his homeland. The persistent oil spills in the Niger Delta region not only harm the natural surroundings but also endanger the well-being of its inhabitants. Ojaide’s artistic expression serves as a powerful tool to address this threat to the Niger Delta’s cultural and environmental heritage.
In his creative process, Ojaide utilizes plastic containers, crude oil, and wood materials to provoke thoughtful reflections on the role of oil within our contemporary culture.”
