Photographer & Mixed-Media Artist
Exploring memory, material and the quiet dialogue between stone and life.
Debut Solo Exhibition
Join Me on a Visual Journey
As a Nigerian-born, London-based photographer and mixed-media artist, I explore memory, place and the relationship between people and the environments they move through. My work combines photography with materials connected to the places I document, creating visual narratives around history, identity and what we carry with us.
Debut Solo Exhibition
Life, Stone, Story - A Journey Through Europe debuted on the 16th of December 2025. It included a series that reflects the enduring presence of stone-built legacies alongside the fleeting vitality of human life, fusing photography with natural materials.
Landscapes of Memory
Landscapes carry traces of the people and histories that have shaped them. Undir Svörtum Sandi, Hafið Man is a piece that extends a photograph of Reynisfjara beach with actual black sand from the beach evoking the memories from people that have been to the beach and a sense of understanding for those that have not.
Cultures in Conversation
I photograph places and people as living archives of heritage, identity and everyday life, looking for the details that connect cultures across distance. Kdybych Věděl depicts a woman musician on Charles bridge in Prague, making music for a crowd gathered. The photograph was fused with old prague music sheet also sourced from Prague.
Intimate Stillness
I’m drawn to quiet, unposed moments — small gestures and fleeting scenes that reveal something about memory and solitude. In Davide Dorato I, I explored my understanding of what leather means to Florence, where the statue of David is currently being displayed in Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze. Also playing with techniques used by old Italian artists like Chiaroscuro and leaf gilding with real gold leaf from Florence.
Journeys Across The World - Chapter I: Europe
From wilting roses in Prague to the red stones in Iceland and Old beautiful castles of Edinburgh, this body of work explores Europe through architecture, landscape and human presence. It is the first chapter in an ongoing visual journey examining how place becomes memory.
