About the work

Souk, striped light on figure

Archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag · Edition of 25

Captured in the covered souks of Marrakech, where sunlight filters through wooden slats and ancient architecture, creating patterns of light and shadow that transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.


Walking through Marrakech felt like walking through parts of Lagos I carry in my bones. These aren’t just photographs of Morocco — they’re Morocco as I saw it, shaped by memory, place, and the echo of where I’m from.
