In DADA4, Konboye constructs a vibrant portrait using only reclaimed flip-flops, turning an everyday material into a dense and unexpectedly painterly surface. Bright chromatic clusters collide with deep, dark fields, allowing a face to emerge like a shared icon built from traces, wear and lived stories. The work reveals its strength up close, where every sandal carries the memory of a journey, and from a distance, where everything resolves into a striking image. DADA4 brings together artistic gesture, sustainability and African material culture in a single work of strong visual and symbolic impact.
