The title Ono Mua Kpo Kpo is written in Urhobo, the native language of Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya. The title translates roughly to "Who is in good health?" or "Who is safe and sound?". [1]
The idea behind the artwork.
With the question "Who is healthy?", Onobrakpeya reflects in this artwork on the human condition and the importance of well-being and vitality within the community. In West African philosophy, health is not merely the absence of disease, but a harmonious balance between body, mind, and the spiritual world. The busy, surreal figures in the etching question or seek that ultimate balance.
