From Lagos, this exclusive story explores the idea ‘we are looking for ourselves in each other’. Taking inspiration from ancestral art and absurdity, it brings together the self and the soul through film, photography and poetry
In life we come across different characters, all seemingly unique each time we look, there is a piece of us; the one’s dear to us.
She is me and I am her, my friend, my person, my extension. A manifestation of myself, she completes me.
The extension of a soul so imperfect, a perfect reminder of my questionable existence
Yin and Yang believe there is light for every darkness, a darkness to every light, but she is my light and my darkness
A view of a soul I never knew I had.
Lost in a haze of our own being, we forget the lives we touch, the patterns we create.
Lost in minds, lost in worlds, the burdens on our shoulders seem to shrink, crawling away slowly - to nothing
