THE EMEZI SISTERS.




Running through the INTERNET, I found these "sisters' of mine, who are from my state, ABIA STATE, IN NIGERIA. AKWAEKE EMEZI AND YAGAZIE EMEZI. Both are extremely artsy beings. I love the aura of nature and simplicity they ooze. It gives me "INDIE VIBES'' i'm inspired. They grew up in Umuahia and Aba in Abia State, before later moving to the United States of America.


  • AKWAEKWE EMEZI. 


WRITER, FILMAKER AND PHOTOGRAPHER.
Her bio on her website reads- Akwaeke Emezi is an Igbo and Tamil writer and filmmaker based in liminal spaces. She was born in Umuahia and raised in Aba, Nigeria. Her work is often set in a landscape of disquietude, excavating the surface to reveal forces of psychosexual dislocation and violence. Brutal and surreal, it pushes past comfortable morality to honestly explore the margins of humanity. 
Here are some of her amazing photos.
