"The Sentinel" Original

"The Sentinel" straddles the boundary between figuration and abstraction, evoking themes of guardianship, spiritual isolation, and the connection between human ritual and the natural world. It invites the viewer to decipher the coded language of this mysterious, timeless guardian.

Yetunde uses a deliberate flattening of space and employs thick, gestural outlines to define the central, totemic figure.

"The Sentinel" is a visceral exploration of the primal connection between the human form, coded symbolism, and the power of the natural world, executed with bold color and fierce painterly technique.
