Daniel Akpan wears a mask made from a water and oil container, representing a masquerade used during the moonlight plays in Bariga. The hanging bottles around the neck producing a shaking sound, serving as an alert that the masquerade is on its way. The idea is to portray the local Nigerian teenagers from the seaside of Isale Akoka area in Bariga, Lagos as key players into closing the loop of the circular economy. Bariga lies a picturesque island renowned for its bouncing soil, aquatic activities, and floating homes. This unique habitat was crafted by breathing new life into materials around them and that mostly come through the lagoon - waste, objects, planks, textiles, plastic, and more - transformed into practical uses like landfilling, building materials, electronic repairs, and even musical instruments and fashion through innovative recycling and upcycling ideas. Unbeknownst to many, these efforts contribute significantly to the global economy.
