NYATI I - The FLY II

I have always been fascinated by how easily attention can be redirected. In this work, a herd of buffalo occupies the canvas with all the weight and authority we instinctively associate with them. Yet their presence is quietly interrupted by a single fly. The fly does not challenge their strength; it simply asks to be noticed. That small shift is enough to change the entire composition. What first appears insignificant begins to hold the greatest visual weight, reminding me that importance is often created by attention rather than by scale or power.
