Adebayo Ogunlade

Adebayo Ogunlade rises before dawn in a small town outside Lagos, driven by the need to capture the poised essence of life despite its end. His life revolves around the intricate mounts of his taxidermy subjects, but his heart is in the small soap carvings he leaves for strangers to find, like secret messages of life persevered. His greatest fear is that the encroaching city will swallow his life’s work, erasing the tactile knowledge he holds dear.
