The priest and the redlight

The priest and the redlight Somewhere in Ibadan, this photograph plunges the viewer into a sanctuary,an underground rave scene saturated in a spiritual red light. This is a site of metamorphosis. Here, the PRIEST is captured in the very act of shedding his skin. He no longer hides; he is free, basking in the shimmering, baptismal glow that shields him from the prying eyes of the hunters. This is a moment of pure, unadulterated self-expression. He now performs only for himself. It is a profound act of reclaiming his identity, a powerful declaration of artistic sovereignty. He owes the society NOTHING.
