Artists write statements about their work so that audiences understand their main ideas.
Here is Etinosa’s:
I began solo travelling in 2015. While I haven’t covered all 36 states in Nigeria, I have been to all the regions in the country. However, I am always in awe whenever I travel to the Northern part of Nigeria. While Nigerians are quite colourful, there is an unmatched vibrancy that exists in the Northern part of Nigeria.
In June 2019, while in Zaria for an assignment and subsequently a vacation, I seized the opportunity to capture the beauty, joy and colours that come with the Sallah celebration. All images taken in Dakace, Zaria.
