Okpe-Iroha’s Under Bridge Life series takes a unique look at the complex urban life in Lagos and represents the divide or gap in its spatial order. In this society, the lowly navigate through the socio-economic process of life appropriating what they need, leaving traces behind and charting out new paths for themselves, creating systems of trade, meeting points and places of business.
