Aremu Olatunji
Born and raised in a humble neighborhood, my work is deeply rooted in personal memory, African identity, and emotional transformation. My journey into photography began in as a way to find my voice and since then, the camera has become both a mirror and a bridge: a mirror reflecting my truth, and a bridge connecting stories that often go unseen.
Artist Statement
In a world where borders are drawn and redrawn by systems, emotions remain the deepest form of connection. Growing up in the heart of Lagos, I saw how people carried stories in their eyes, in their stillness, in their scars. What connects us as human beings isn’t just language, geography, or even culture — it’s the emotional and psychological weight we carry. That is the world I’m trying to make visible.
