Abstract
In this article, we explore and probe the critical visual analysis framework on the ‘challenge’ illustrations of Jide Okonkwo distributed on Facebook in 2019 while considering contents, contexts and communication of the images. Engaging with critical visual analysis is in order to deepen our understanding of its dynamics and potential for visual semiosis. The images are visual data for this analysis, and they are relevant considering their rich visual contents. Using critical visual analysis framework as developed by Jiayu Wang, we explore and interpret these images against the backdrop of their sociocultural and communication foci. The theoretical analysis is substantiated with elements of visual grammar (VG). The article expounds the understanding regarding the theoretical tool as well as the semiosis of the social practices connected with these images.
