"For years, others were my subject.
Editorial work, creative concepts, and afro-surrealism.
A portfolio built on seeing someone else clearly.
A portfolio built on seeing someone else clearly.
That chapter is closed.
My lens turns inward now. Not for vanity, but inventory.
Same eye. Same hands, turned on a subject
I am learning to trust enough to capture honestly.
This pivot is a mystery to me at times.
Through this transition, I won't be explaining myself much. Some things only make sense in hindsight.
I don't know yet what all this may become.
All I know for certain is that it is true."
