This series of headshots was inspired by the link between the demi gods of the Egyptians and Yoruba people of Nigeria, using Pharaoh and Sango as subject matters. A phenomenon to which we are oblivious of its origin, this editorial is taken from an angle of ancient aesthetics.
Visualizing this gave birth to a link between two strong demi gods from separate continents that have similar traits which transcend time and space.
In these images we witness a transition of history, a tradition of lineages and cultures taken from our pasts and present dilemmas.
“Real life essence can only be taken in the moments we absorb with detail.”
