"Odukoya" means the one who triumphs against all odds. Moments in time are captured, each representing a chamber of reflection, all solely painted from memory. Uka finds strength in referencing familiar scenes and moments in Nigeria, through an era specific and recognizable collective memory. These instants were engraved in his early recollections – poses of brothers arm in arm, the bright, surrounding colors and patterns – presenting his personal link to his life left behind when moving to Germany. His works form a tangible way to display mutuality in the experience worldwide, an affirmation of presence.

The stimulus of Uka’s practice comes from what he deems "the quantum leap", his necessary footstep into the unknown. These moments of nostalgia facilitate the continuity of identity, further persisting in his future work. The paintings showcase a nostalgia for life that is colorful and full of bliss. There continues to be space and yearning for joy, reflection, and redefinition.
