Three Artifacts from Mt. Olympus features three images captured at my family home in Ibadan, Nigeria. Growing up, I observed my mother and her seven siblings walk the Earth as gods, laying to rest the world of my grandparents and shaping a new one that I would eventually step into as I came of age. I refer to these as artifacts to further underscore my point of view as the observer and to suggest a narrative: the aftermath of a contentious changing of the guard—not unlike that of the Olympians and the Titans who came before them. These artifacts are the features I am most drawn to every time I visit and will miss the most when, in time, they are gone.
