SYMBOLS

A return to the source
a journey through time, to the earth that cradles identity,
to the sand, the water, the trunk of memory,
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, the breath between the inner and the outer,
of unseen forces from which the soul draws its fire.

Human energy captured at its most supreme, then time holds still.
Each picture holding within it a whole world,
its mystery gradually unfolding.

Cotton carries the weight of enslaved hands.
Coffee 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.
Symbols of maternity, identity, alterity

echoing forms and faces
and the light of a future shaped by memory
and the beauty of being.
