woko j. aguru NIGERIA, B. 1970
2019
Woko Aguru’s Quest for Treasure Constructed with vibrant materials such as corks and found objects is an evocative artwork that delves into themes of discovery and collective humanity. The central feature of the piece is a large question mark, which upon closer inspection reveals itself as a face, composed of tiny human figures. This intricate arrangement symbolizes the shared pursuit of answers and the communal nature of life's quests. Each figure represents an individual contribution to a larger, unified search for meaning. The warm, earthy tones juxtaposed against the dark background create a rich, thought-provoking contrast, encouraging viewers to consider both personal and collective journeys in the pursuit of knowledge and treasure.
