Thrilled to be included in the adapted Photoville festival this year with the featured Home Away From Home exhibition (alongside fellow documentary photographer Olga Ginzburg). Special thanks to Paul Moakley, Victoria Munro, and the Alice Austen House. The exhibit is on view through November 29, 2020, at the South Beach Promenade located at 656 Father Capodanno Blvd., Staten Island, New York City.
Home Away From Home is a snapshot of a small town in New York City, and the process of rediscovering home. It presents a candid look into the lives of Staten Island residents and documents the diverse life experiences often overlooked within the borough.
This series of images represents a period from my formative years in Staten Island, when I began to discover a sense of belonging years after feeling disconnected from my childhood in Lagos, Nigeria. Curiosity led me to people whose culture and lived experiences I deeply identified with.
