"Oboh Moses is a Black digital illustrator who has been passionate about art since he was seven years old. In 2021, his work was selected for the American Illustration 40th anniversary annual award book. He lives and works in Lagos, #Nigeria.

This illustration depicts a lively neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria, reimagined as a thriving solar-powered community. The scene captures an ordinary residential area transformed through the widespread adoption of #renewable energy, offering a glimpse of a future where clean, #sustainable power is part of everyday life.

At first glance, we see numerous solar panels installed on nearly every rooftop, children play football and run freely in the open spaces, residents gather on balconies and verandas to chat with neighbors, watch the activity below, or simply enjoying the day. reinforcing the close-knit nature of the community.

Beyond capturing daily life, this artwork tells the story of an energy transition. It shows how solar power can strengthen local communities by providing reliable electricity, reducing dependence on #FossilFuels and unstable grid power, lowering energy costs, and improving everyday life. Overall, the illustration celebrates a future where clean, renewable energy is accessible to everyone."
