AfriKan Giant is one of the first largest pieces to be created by the artist inspired by a photograph taken in 2019. While the term 'African Giant' often conjures images of iconic figures like Burna Boy, this piece redirects the focus to those who remain unseen—the quiet heroes who endure and thrive in the shadows. With its commanding scale and intricate detail, *AfriKan Giant* honors the resilience, strength, and perseverance of those overlooked by the world. It challenges viewers to look beyond the surface and recognize the giants among us.
