This evocative artwork portrays a heart-wrenching scene centered around the lifeless body of a sacred sheep. Its once-pristine white fleece lies stark against the dark, blood-soaked earth, the wound from a monk’s bullet marking the moment of violence. The sheep’s peaceful form contrasts sharply with the brutal finality of its death, creating a striking and poignant focal point.
In the background, the once tranquil Okwukwe community is alive with anguish and disbelief. Villagers emerge with their faces frozen in expressions of shock, grief, and anger.
This artwork captures not just a moment of loss, but the profound emotional and cultural rupture it inflicts, inviting the viewer to reflect on the fragile balance between reverence and intrusion, harmony and violence.
