Reclaiming the african gaze
Reclaiming the African Gaze is a photographic and research-based project that challenges the ways African identity has historically been constructed and misrepresented through the colonial lens. The project examines how contemporary African photographers are reclaiming authorship of their narratives, using the camera not as a tool of objectification, but as a medium of empowerment, healing, and cultural affirmation.
The accompanying photo series reimagines the African gaze from within, presenting images that highlight resilience, dignity, and beauty beyond stereotypes. Through staged portraits, visual symbolism, and narrative-driven composition, the work shifts the focus from imposed narratives to self-determined ones.
Both theoretical and practical, the project weaves together critical research, visual experimentation, and personal creative response. It invites viewers to confront the politics of representation and to consider how photography can serve as a site of reclamation—where history is re-examined, identities are honored, and new possibilities of seeing are created.

Calling “Wear more than one hat”
We are called to more than one thing.
As human beings—we carry multiple assignments, roles, and responsibilities throughout our lives. One moment we are creators, the next we are intercessors, leaders, servants, visionaries, mentors, students. In every space we step into, we are called to show up fully. This doesn’t mean we are defined by our productivity, but that we are vessels God can use in many ways at once.
“Calling: Wear Many Hats” is a photographic exploration of that tension: The beauty and burden of being multi-called.
Each image in this series plays with light, shadow, and physical hats as symbols of identity and responsibility. To the untrained eye, they may appear as simple fashion statements or creative stylings. But look closer—the hats begin to obscure the face, casting eerie shadows that speak to the emotional and spiritual weight of carrying much.
We often wear these hats with excellence.
But what toll does that take on the soul?
Where is the rest?
Where is the line between being faithful and being burnt out?
This series asks:
• Can we embrace the fullness of our callings without losing ourselves?
• Are we giving God our yes in every area—or are we wearing hats we were never meant to carry?
• What does obedience look like when you’re called to create, lead, heal, teach, serve, and build—all at once?
“Calling: Wear Many Hats” is not a lament. It is a portrait of capacity. A visual invitation to reconsider what it means to be many things, in one body, with one Spirit guiding it all.
It is for the multi-passionate, the prophetic, the burdened, the leaders, the builders, the artists, and the ones who secretly ask God, “Is it really all mine to carry?”
The answer may not be simple—but it’s worth capturing.

Crown of glory
A moment suspended between agony and glory—this image captures the surrender of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Hands reach toward the light, which forms a crown above, symbolizing the acceptance of His divine purpose. It is a visual echo of choosing the cross over comfort, purpose over ease.
The artist mirrors this decision in her own journey—choosing to stay, to fight for her calling, and to trust the unseen glory ahead.
