Coming back from America—once a dream I fought hard to realize—sparked something pivotal in me. I had reached one of my highest aspirations, and suddenly I had to ask: what’s next? That question forced me into deep reflection. I began looking back at the images I’d created over the years, many of which had never seen the light of day. They weren’t just memories — they were voices. Each photo was saying, “It’s time.” But I knew I couldn’t just release them into the world without structure, intention, or alignment.
To present my work at the level it deserves, I had to reposition myself—not only as an artist, but as a business. I’ve spent the past two years reworking and refining my approach until it felt like home. Until it felt like something my higher self would fully endorse.
Ten years from now, I see myself producing art that travels the world—art that isn’t just seen, but felt. Stories told through photography, visual narratives rooted in love, culture, and remembrance. Images that move beyond aesthetics and speak directly to the soul—whether you like it or not, you’re drawn to it. The colors, the textures, the composition—it should all feel like elegance, like truth. The journey hasn’t just been artistic. It’s been spiritual. I’ve reconnected with my ancestors, built a deeper relationship with God, and healed parts of myself that I didn’t even know were broken.
That pain—especially the kind that comes from those you love, from the very communities you come from—could’ve destroyed me. But instead, it refined me. What I’ve learned is this: to elevate my art, I had to elevate myself. I had to adopt a new level of class—not in the materialistic sense, but in energetic alignment. I’ve always heard that artists have to detach from material things, but when you come from a place where you’ve never had much, beauty and taste become a form of healing. I believe elegance is part of the frequency I’m meant to transmit. That’s why the visual tone of my work—the browns, the soft whites, the greys, the intuitive use of color grading—is intentional. It’s not random. It’s ancestral. In ten years, I see myself as an artist who’s not only created globally respected work, but who’s redefined what it means to be a visual artist from the continent. Someone who’s helped shape the future of modern contemporary art in a way that feels real, soulful, and deeply intelligent. Someone who’s helped other artists own their IPs, navigate the industry with power, and understand that their value is spiritual before it’s commercial. I’m not chasing fame. I’m building legacy. And for me, that legacy will live in the pictures, in the structure behind them, and in the souls they move.”
