A PHOTO EP
An all-new photo 'Ep', that explores the element fire. Fire in all its forms, carrying more messages than imaginable, I began work on this 'Ep' on the eve of this new year. To celebrate the coming of the century, the people of Mararaba, Nasarawa, here in Nigeria, made big fires using different materials in all parts of the town to commemorate the celebrations. I came across one of such fires and despite being fatigued from a very long day, I rushed in to get my gear to capture the monumentary sight, it was a spectacle to behold. As time went by, I became intrigued by fire and was willing to play with it some more, this was my major inspiration for the "Play with Fire Ep".
In my journey as an artist, I find that my personal life mimics the themes of the work at hand. The artistic process always seems to birth a reality in which situations that have similar themes and concepts as the ones in the work happen in my personal life. If you look closely at the progression of the Play with Fire Ep, you will hear the story of how I played with fire, made a wrong choice. All the play was fun until it backfired and hurt me. I must confess, it was a big deal at the time but like all fires, it died down.
Explore the Play with Fire Ep and tell me how each picture makes you feel, I am eager to hear your interpretation of this body of work in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
