"happy to be alive and hear the wind blowing through trees and birds singing melodies.

there’s not a single song in the whole world that can beat this

when I’m in nature all my problems seem so small and i'm no longer carrying the weight of the world.

I wish I could stay here forever.

im very grateful for being able to witness nature's beauty.

a collage i made a while ago.

I used still images from a video my mom captured for me in Nigeria.

I like the warm colors, the leaves and trees in general.

It's called 'Quiet dialogue: (be)longing', referring to being a child of the diaspora and everything tied to it: the search for identity, roots, spirituality, connections and ancestors. The title consists of a wordplay.

The word longing represents my search of (cultural) identity and community. It represents a yearning for home.

Belonging on the other hand symbolizes a connection, no matter where i am in the world.

The collage portrays a tree,soil and a yellow house symbolising rootedness and belonging. It represents an internal dialogue abt what i long for and my need to belong ~search of community.

I associate the tree and the soil with my roots and ancestors. my foundation.

The yellow house and the warm colours with the feeling of home and familiarity.

I feel at peace every time i look at this, it reminds me of home. The images speak to me, they bring me solace. and the fact that these were taken in Nigeria also reminds me of home, even though I'm a child of diaspora and I've only been home once when i was 15/16.

Nigeria isn't really my home in a literal sense bcs I wasn't born there and I'm not very connected to my roots because of my parents. but that shouldn't stop me from taking matters into my own hands and learning more about my culture, the languages and reconnecting

with or without their help.

make una no vex idk if this is the right way to make it
