Oje Mba Enwe Ilo
An artwork that holds origin and destination in one.
At the centre of the artwork is Isi Oji, the head of the kola nut — an offering in Igbo culture that turns encounter into relationship. Its four lobes radiate outwards as paths from a shared centre, evoking the four cardinal directions. The title, Oje Mba Enwe Ilo, is Ogboh’s own translation of an Igbo ethic of journeying: “He who travels to a foreign land learns not to make enemies.”
