Wole Soyinka calls it the “one-eyed box” It captures the tiniest of emotions It’s lens, ‘all-seeing’ like an eye over the globe With each picture, a fleeting glimpse of expressions Stories stuck on film, a whole lot to remember Complex negatives – images of unending scenes brought to life In this moment we smile; maybe too much Problems concealed with style – click and flash flashing lights, euphoric … some blink in agreement That reassurance, the light in our darkness which Lifts the fog from our shadows. Others, eyes wide open – flash! Like tourists, they let their senses devour the moment trusting this ‘one eyed box’ with their deepest secrets In this spotlight, our silhouettes - naked Our candid lives, as bare as all the places in our minds we refuse to acknowledge the man behind this one-eyed box An artist eager to retouch our imperfections.
