‘Who are we? Where did we come from? And where are we going?’ These are immense philosophical questions that we as humans can ask ourselves for eternity without ever arriving at an answer. But if we simplify these questions; Who am I? Where do I come from, and where am I going? The answer is already a lot easier, we can get close to something specific.

I am immensely interested in the role of origin, family history, and the impact our parents consciously and unconsciously have on us. As the son of a Dutch white mother and Nigerian black father, I know what it is like to grow up between two cultures and the feeling that I don't really belong anywhere: in the Netherlands I am black and in Nigeria I am white . A poignant contradiction that forms the red line through my work.
