A procession of stick figures advances across the picture plane in raw umber strokes, their uneven limbs suggesting both awkwardness and collective momentum. Above the leftmost figure, bubble forms drift upward toward a jagged speech cloud bearing the word 'Elsewhere' - a destination named but unreachable. Adeyemi's single-colour line work, applied with varying pressure, gives the figures a cave-painting directness that sits somewhere between protest march and migration.
