vITA LABORUM ES;Life is work, hence it translates in my dialect Kenyang of the peoples of Cameroon sharing similar rituals and cultural beliefs with the Igbo tribes of eastern Nigeria .In life very often to self-determine, to garner ambition, to challenge existing ocncepts and to aspire to attain new concepts, 'effort ' is often a sine qua non --always required, hence the title "BE'TIK".
Every single time an individual aspires to migrate from the state of imagination into concrete reality ,a giant leap of effort is necessary ... that first step needed; the determination to attain whatever it is we dream about be it in the spiritual , or the physical realm 'effort' thus become a crucial ingredient for it to truly manifest. Here we are dealing with the basic metabolic aspect of transmitting our dreams to reality.
In essence, the philosophical abstract concepts of both human aspiration and physical existence come to true life when an Effort is made. Whereabouts, i concieved the concept of this piece Be'tik, an overarching effort was required from me so this can become a concrete image and no longer a concept. I will loosely translate Be'tik , as effort;thought,aspiration, desire, dream and to exist forth as BE'TIK.
