Quotes So even years from now, I want people to watch my videos and still feel something, still connect with the emotion and the message. If the story holds them, if it makes them remember a feeling, then I’ve done my job. I didn’t want anyone to work with me because of a name; I wanted them to work with me because they understood the value I bring. You can’t paint a sad-love story the same way you’ll paint a wedding song. My videos are built on storytelling, and storytelling never fades. Used plastics will be collected and converted into Angel Wings and Ats Murals with the help of @penieltheartist. It will be immortalized in a photo shoot, so that even when the installation has to come down, the images will live on, reminding us of our plastic output. I’m not a good talker. I have so many things I want to talk about. I’m not good with words. So, photography helps me express myself. My lifestyle is in my work. I wanted to do something that showed how I am feeling, and how everybody else is feeling, and what we are facing with this police brutality. If you look at that guy, he looks depressed, but he still has hope in God. I was doing some research, and I saw this stuff on Jesus being black. So, I thought about Cain and Abel, and what if they were black? What if I could create this, but in a sort of black version? So, I thought what does a man fight for? He usually fights for food and land. External links Category:Living people Category:Film directors from Nigeria Category:Photographers from Nigeria Category:People from Lagos
