With nothing left but his personal instinct and a trust in total strangers, he was determined to know the truth.The 'Sculpture Garden' Series is based on actual sculptures and is part of an ongoing effort to support the work of local artists in Nigeria, fund the establishment of sustainable sculpture gardens, and sponsor worldwide collaborations with art institutions.
