Ije mma, meaning successful trip, is a work of mine inspired by my neighbor’s first daughter.
She is the first child of her parents after 11years of marriage with no child, while on her
arrival her mother then successfully start giving birth to other her siblings. She has a unique
character from other children. Her mature attitude set me in awe, the way she acts like an
aduld, co ordinate her siblings and affairs of home in the absent of her parents inspires me
and I know I would make a painting of her. I made her wear the long beads on her neck, the
big Bangles and the wigs of an adult to depict the adult character in her.
