SYMBOLS

Symbols is a return to the source,
a journey through time, to the sand, the water, the trunk of memory,
to the earth that cradles identity,
where tradition runs deep and the invisible becomes tangible.

What we see are symbols for communication, for pride, for willpower and self-awareness.
Symbols of our bond with the earth,
of the breath between the inner and the outer,
of unseen forces from which the soul draws its fire.

Human energy is captured at its most supreme, then time holds still.
Each picture penetrates,
holding within it a whole world,
its mystery not revealed at once, but gradually unfolding.

Cotton, soft as breath, carries the weight of enslaved hands.
Coffee, once sacred, now bears the bitterness of trade.
Cowrie shells, once currency for human flesh,
now reimagined as symbols of resilience.

Fragments of life, gestures, and gazes move like ancestral rhythms through the lens.

Photography becomes a bridge back to the origin,
a celebration of materiality, of texture, of ritual.
Symbols of maternity, identity, alterity.

They echo the forms and faces that carry the weight of humanity,
the light of a future shaped by memory and by the beauty of being.
