Three marks in forest green - a curved bracket, a compact strawberry rendered with surprising botanical fidelity, and a loose diagonal slash - sit in loose constellation across white ground. Okafor's line is unhurried, the pressure varying enough to suggest something drawn from memory rather than observation. The fruit's calyx, sketched with two quick interior strokes, carries more tenderness than the surrounding economy of gesture might lead you to expect.
