Quotes The gèlè isn’t just a way of fashion, it’s a way of communicating. I believe that one of the strongest ways to hold on to memories is to archive them in pictures. Art has played a large role in society development. Lots of things we know now, we only know because it was stored in art form. As time passes by, art reminds you as the past, and can reveal the future. I always saw people with dwarfism as normal, but I found that there were people who were afraid of them and didn’t see them the same way. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. There’s so much to do as a photographer. It’s a story of people that are unique in their own way. There’s so much power in those images. I didn’t want to rush it. That’s one thing about being creative it comes with exploration. External links Category:Photographers from Nigeria Category:1990 births Category:Living people
