  2. Three black-and-white artworks displayed side by side depict a surreal desert-like landscape with rippling, woodgrain-like textures across the ground and sky. Left image: A baobab-shaped tree rises from the textured ground, its trunk incorporating tall, cylindrical architectural forms resembling towers or chimneys. Sparse plants sit in the foreground beneath a swirling sky. Center image: A single baobab tree stands beneath a bright full moon. An ornate circular clock is embedded in the tree’s trunk, with small containers at its base. The surrounding terrain and sky share the same flowing, striated patterns. Right image: Two baobab-like trees stand close together. One tree contains small architectural structures, including a lighthouse-like form near the top. The textured ground and swirling sky continue, creating a unified, dreamlike scene across all three images. Image credit: Beyond the Line by Ade Adesina, woodcut, 2018. © the artist.
