Artist Statement
In Lagos, a city, where one side resists the other, this bridge becomes a lifeline — reminding us that no matter how divided we seem, we remain deeply and inevitably connected.
Each pixel in this drone shot that presents Africa’s second-longest bridge goes beyond geography, it connects people across class divides, draw people closer to their aspirations, and reminds the viewer of the contrasting perceptions of privileges.
