Azikiwe Mohammed, Waiting at 7:22pm, Curtain Open, 2021
Acrylic and gouache on board
18 × 22 inches

These objects are all different parts of one object. Time is felt most often by those who wait for it. Be it waiting for something to happen, waiting for the thing that has happened to pass or the shoe to drop in either of those directions. We often find ourselves in-between times with un-made decisions. Over the course of a few hours, days will pass but the hours we perform action inside will return to us the following day if desired. These are a few of those hours, these are hours I know well, these are the hours promised to me and to people who look like me. Sometimes they are used for rest between other sets of hours but often they are used for waiting. I have forgotten what I am waiting for and only remember the action now, but in an action is the memory of others who have taken similar. These are a few of those actions.
