FRIESIAN

Like the Friesian horse, a man can be beautiful. This photograph is my attempt to challenge the rigid definitions of masculinity we are handed. There is no better way in being a man. I choose not to be rigid. I choose not to succumb to the pressures of conformity. As my silhouette stands out against the water, it shows me embracing my femininity in its fullest form,an act of quiet rebellion and profound self-acceptance, even and especially in a country like Nigeria. This is my vision for "Another Nigeria": a future where we are free to define ourselves, a future that celebrates the entire, complex spectrum of our identity.
