This light-filled image, with its stark contrasts and tension between movement and stillness, reminds us of the reviving power of surrender to the present moment. The Siren series features model Precious John and was shot on the beach in Lagos, Nigeria.

This powerful black-and-white photograph by Adebayo Jolaoso, a rising talent in contemporary African photography, reimagines Eden not as a place, but as a state of being—a space where identity, freedom, and nature converge. A solitary woman draped in a flowing black gown walks across a sun-bleached terrain, her silhouette both delicate and defiant. The landscape, raw and elemental, becomes more than backdrop; it is the artist’s metaphor for belonging.
