He/Him - Why did you create this work?
This illustration for Archivi.ng reimagines a multiple-choice sheet as an empty exam hall. Shaded bubbles become vacant chairs and tables; a lone invigilator walks through. The image poses a haunting question: where did Nigeria’s top 100 WAEC students from 2009 go? The stark emptiness reflects both their absence and the country’s ongoing brain drain. - How were your illustrations used?
