Uche Okeke's Untitled, rendered in watercolor on paper, showcases his emblematic use of uli lines. Dominated by shades of blue, the composition features a curious female figure immersed in water, suggesting a spiritual encounter or activity. Okeke masterfully uses the uli technique, with fluid lines that express both the splash of the water and the graceful form of the woman basking within it. This piece reflects the traditional Igbo cosmological belief linking water to the feminine spirit, blending cultural symbolism with artistic expression in a visually captivating manner.
