Daniel Obasi, Photographer, Lagos

Description

This outdoor photograph by Daniel Obasi captures a group of children dressed in light blue and white school uniforms on a wooden platform set against a sandy beach and ocean backdrop. Several children interact with a large, ornate golden mechanical horse sculpture featuring gear details and star crowns. One child stands elevated on a small classical pedestal playing a golden trumpet, while another holds a flagpole with a blue flag atop the sculpture. The scene is bathed in natural daylight with soft ocean waves breaking in the background, creating a surreal narrative atmosphere.
