Esther (2018) is the fourth book of the 'Sculpture Garden' series. It is a tale of a family separated by tragedy and their separate lives, until an unusual encounter with a total stranger led to the beginning of an unlikely adventure. With nothing else except for the words of a soothsayer, the main character began the journey to find out if his mother, Esther, was still alive. A visit to a local hospital only complicated his journey as all he gained was a couple of material objects to serve as a guide. With nothing left but his personal instinct and a trust in total strangers, he was determined to know the truth. The 'Sculpture Garden' Series is based on actual sculptures and is part of an ongoing effort to support the work of local artists in Nigeria, fund the establishment of sustainable sculpture gardens, and sponsor worldwide collaborations with art institutions.
