Obibo's work focuses on the role of wishing, imagination and preconception in our perception of reality. We each have our own desires and expectations for how the world should be, altering our perceptions and enabling each of us to find our own unreality. According to Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, measurement changes its object; Obibo's work explores how merely asking the question changes the result.

Obibo sculpts paintings with recycled paper. For him, working with wet paper is a spontaneous, organic process. He participates in a natural process, and lacks the control one may obtain with more refined media.

Everything in nature has a perfectly balanced form, taking into account unseen forces such as water, wind and past accident. Obibo strives for a naturalistic balance in form. The materials have a strong organic quality in their rough surfaces and edges, as well as in the intrinsic dappling and blending of colors. Artifacts of the sculpting process add further texture and naturalism to the work.

To sculpt a painting, Obibo pulps recycled paper to various consistencies; sometimes colors it with dye or pigment; mixes pulp of various colors in various proportions; forms the pulp into sheets; sometimes dries sheets so they can be cut or torn into smaller pieces; composes the generally wet material on a solid or wire-mesh support; and then air-dries the result.
