Eria views his art career as a journey, dominated by "my struggle with mediocrity. The conditions of life in Uganda tend to favour mediocrity". He feels surrounded by talented people who don't realise their potential. He thinks about his potential and how he must find a way to battle mediocrity and conquer it, aiming to do the best he can.
