Hoary Rooftops

A perch at the rooftop gives you an aerial view, like that of a passenger sitting at the right window seat of an air vessel turning to land near Murtala Muhammed Airport, captures the beauty of the clumsy rooftops. Lagos, which means "lake" was a name given to the settlement by the Portuguese. In order to link the island to the mainland, bridges were constructed over the channel draining the lagoon into the Atlantic ocean; which forms Lagos harbor. To unveil the height of one of these bridges, Damola employs acrylics and newspaper collage to depict the rooftops of settlements on and around the water bank, as well as the water and its reflection to light.
