Nigerian Artist Turns Flip-Flops Into Faces

Nigerian artist Eugene Konboye is turning discarded plastic flip-flops into colorful portraits in what he said is his contribution to help clean up the environment in a country where plastic pollution is prevalent. What started as an assignment in college in 2017 has become a full-time job for Konboye, whose Abeokuta studio in southwest Ogun state is now training upcoming artists who look up to him.
