Carved wooden sculpture of a seated figure, leaning forward with its head resting on one hand, expressing deep thought and fatigue. The form is elongated and stylized, with minimal facial detail and subtle carved markings, all shaped from a single block of wood.
In the context of present-day Nigeria, the figure reflects the strain of inflation, economic hardship, and insecurity, capturing a moment of quiet worry and introspection shared by many.
