This image is a minimalist allegory for our collective journey. The vast, turbulent sky, with its deep and moody clouds, represents the present moment—the storms of uncertainty and challenge we must all navigate. It is the beautiful, intimidating, and complex world as it is. The lone airplane is a symbol of human hope and resolve. It is small and solitary against the storm, yet its course is unwavering. It is the emissary of our ambition, a testament to our enduring need to seek what lies beyond the horizon. A new world is possible, and its promise is visible in the break in the clouds—the patch of clear sky that is the destination. This photograph is about that passage. It is a meditation on the courage it takes to fly through the storm, guided by the belief that a calmer, brighter world awaits.

What She Carries

Image shows native children of the displaced people of Tarkwa bay Island off the coast of Lagos. Once, the shores of Tarkwa Bay rang with laughter — children racing through the surf, learning, dreaming, living freely by the sea. Then came the eviction. Homes were destroyed, families scattered, and classrooms washed away like footprints in the tide. Even in displacement, their spirit endures. In makeshift shelters, they study by lantern light, determined to learn, to rise. This photograph captures not just play, but defiance — a reminder that though their world was taken, their hope still runs wild and unbroken, like the ocean that raised them.

A vision of a Nigeria 

Still framed by the mirror, the muse begins to fade from the light. Religion sits on her head like an accessory. The light that once defined her now flickers with doubt. #AnotherNigeria
