Transit

Transit is a mural made for the Ken Nwadiogbu Artist Room at Nordic Hotel in Lagos. Colour and painted texture travel across the walls, making the room itself part of the work.

An escalator rises from behind the bed. Ken chose it for the brief pause it imposes: however hurried you feel, it carries you forward at its own pace. That sensation connects to his journeys between London and Lagos, and to the strange mix of movement, waiting and return that travel can bring.

Created with Nordic Hotel, Lagos. Mural assistance by Wasiu Eshinlokun.
