Rough Idea explores uncertainty as a lived and visual experience. Using a bold palette and richly textured surfaces, Ogunwo invites viewers into the space between what is known and what remains
unresolved. Shaped by his recent travels across the globe, this body of work reflects how culture informs gesture and how climate ambiguity influences livelihood. While not claiming clear answers,
Ogunwo offers a “rough idea” of a world marked by complexity, resilience, and ongoing negotiation.
