Victory in the Valley of Eshu draws on both the religion and visual imagery and symbols of the Nigerian Yoruba people, as well as Donaldson’s own family. The work depicts the artist’s parents, with his mother holding a six-pointed star symbolizing Eshu, the Yoruba deity of fate. Each point on the star represents a potential path into a future plagued with uncertainty.
