Babajide’s exhibition uses hyper-realism to represent scarification, particularly the practices of Babajide’s Yoruba ethnicity, and interacts with the carriers of these marks. Babajide has ventured all over Africa to create his work, which has been featured in numerous galleries across the globe. His main aim was to explore the nature and nurture aspects of scarification. “Scars are like fingerprints for them; they tell you exactly who you are and exactly what you’re going to be,” he says.
