The world may be watching, but the foundation is deeper than the image. Beneath my feet is a force both humble and eternal. Though I stand in New York, the sand remembers me. It cannot take away where I’m from; Ibadan, the soil of my birth, will always remember me.
Grounded by sand and framed by cloth, I stand in openness and origin. At my side: a wheelbarrow filled with panel member hats @_panelmembers not an accessory, but a banner of brotherhood. It speaks to a collective spirit, a movement I carry with me. It is the reminder that I do not walk alone, that identity is not just personal.
In my hand, the Ghana Must Go bag is more than luggage. It is migration and memory stitched in plastic, a symbol of departure and arrival, of carrying history while moving toward the future. A quiet balance of tradition and reinvention.
This is not about spectacle. It is about presence. About whom I was, who I am, and who I’m becoming.
I am not just creating images. I am moving with memory.
