"I feel growing up in Lagos and also interacting in the art community from when I was younger, there was a lot of value placed in being secretive and mysterious. In keeping yourself apart from everyone and everything and not showing what it was that you did. But I feel like now as I’m transitioning to a new place in my life and work, a part of me does want to be seen and experienced and be as open as possible. I feel like art can be the point where honesty and communication meet and we can see ourselves and our work for what they really are. I hope people see who I am through this collection, and in doing so, I hope they see themselves. After all is said and done, I'm a 21 year old living in Lagos, Nigeria, doing what I love. And that makes me fucking happy." -Anthony Azekwoh, 2021.
