Omolade’s work explores the essence of being human. He recently started working on the masks that represent his children for the first time. With them, he wants to portray the way life is able to thrive despite all the difficulties it can face. The boys are shown with their eyes closed, like they are in an eternal sleep unaware of the harsh world around them.
