Fragments of Becoming

Originally Published: 19 December 2025

Fragments of Becoming brings together selected works from Colours of Persona, The Crossroads, and Singles — a visual dialogue exploring identity, transformation, and the tension between inner and outer worlds. Each image is a fragment of a larger story about becoming: the negotiation between tradition and change, solitude and community, the sacred and the ordinary.

 

Through portraiture and symbolism, the series reflects on how people inhabit multiple selves — cultural, emotional, and spiritual — and how these selves coexist in motion. Whether through color, texture, or gesture, each photograph seeks to reveal the unseen rhythms beneath the surface of life in contemporary Africa.

 

Together, these images form a living archive of personal myth, where everyday moments are transfigured into reflections of memory, ancestry, and imagination.
