  • this is ball and a booth.
    Greetings to everyone!!!
    How has your day been, I hope you enjoyed it. Okay.

This is what we call "sculpture" in our dialect we call it "ubobod nkpo".
Moving around my school to do one thing or the other I decided to captured this sculpture at my school, University of Uyo, Main camp in Uyo.

This was done by students of Fine Art presenting these as their projects. As you can the school environment clubbed with students

The reason I drop these post in this very platform is because it is a culture in people's country or state that these sculptures must be done. It has become a culture because there's is no place that you will go, you must see it.

  • This is a mother disciplining her child by using frying pan.

In the olden days, when there was no paper and writing, people used things like this as a sign of communication to others. It also communicate ideas, information about a particular thing.

  • This is when a prisoner is being set free from a prison.

These sculpture are immovable, speechless, unemotional, because it is a man made or made of a man.
Now, can you compare the work of God and the work of man?

Things made by God are movable, full of speeches, etc to show that God is a supreme God. We possess God's image because of the power of God that attached during the process of making and creating a man. Fear God.

  • A student reading with his ear buds in his ears

As a student of linguistics, who has come across these as a discourse last semester. These are languages which communicate an idea to people within that environment.
