Emeka Okereke says: As we traveled through Aba in Nigeria, we experienced many deserted petrol stations. It created a perfect setting to create this work which is a subtle reference to the paradox of the oil industry and that of all ntural resources as a whole. It is important to note that this was as a result of a collaboration with Emmanuel Iduma, the writer of the road trip. Images of this sort embodies the many acts of interaction, reflection and collaboration between artists of the road trip across disciplines and mediums.
