Faces turned from the viewer; as up-close as a direct glance.

The photograph was taken in my hostel on the morning of the day I signed out from University. I had just finished my makeup and wanted to document the look as well as the nostalgic feeling I had. It was the beginning of an end. In the photo, my hair is covered with a scarf to make it slick. I posed myself, turned my face to show the outline of my face and took the photo.

This photograph was taken during one of my regular visits to my family's home on the outskirts of Lagos. It shows my younger brother within my mother's garden, which provides an ideal backdrop for my photos. This garden has lately been a wellspring of inspiration, profoundly impacting my recent creative endeavors. The manner in which the light filters through the foliage creates a soft, inviting illumination and sets an ideal ambiance for my photographs.

The photo was taken in Heroldsbay, in December 2021. My grandmother had a white facemask on her face and hands, and my youngest brother, Gustav, was sitting on the couch. As my grandmother entered the living room, I was fascinated by her hands. I asked her to place them on Gustav's face, and gave him an eyeline to look at. I took the photo.
