ARTIST STATEMENT:
This series uses fashion photography to put young, Black men at the forefront. As a Nigerian born artist now living in Canada, throughout my childhood I had been referred to as a “fly in milk”. Flies in your food are a nuisance and being one of only a handful of Black kids in school, I stuck out as well. These photos refute that label, I AM NOT A FLY IN MILK. My fellow young Black men and I in this country are not a nuisance but rather a blessing, beautiful, and should be celebrated.
This series shows the unity, the beauty, the irrefutable style and majesty by Black men in this country.
