Afrocentrik

Emerging as both a cultural manifesto and a visual resistance, Afrocentrik stands as a compelling affirmation of Africa’s visual and spiritual heritage. Through a language of bold chromatic contrasts and patterns drawn from ancestral memory, the series weaves together themes of pride, sacredness, and collective identity (ujamaa), challenging reductive narratives imposed by colonial legacies. Each portrait becomes a vessel intimate yet emblematic where personal histories intersect with broader diasporic realities. Rooted in the past yet unmistakably contemporary, Afrocentrik reclaims the African gaze, repositioning it not as a subject of observation but as a source of vision. In a global context where cultural references are often diluted or displaced, Afrocentrik invites viewers to witness Africa not as an echo of the past, but as a force of futurity whole, radiant, and sovereign.
