Nana Yaw Oduro, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Nana Yaw Oduro captures a Black man standing atop a small red plastic stool submerged within a dense, verdant marshland. He wears white angel wings strapped to his back and white briefs, holding a coiled red cord that trails down into the vegetation to a small cluster of red blossoms. The surrounding environment consists of a thick carpet of vibrant green aquatic plants covering the water's surface. The composition is shot from an elevated angle, creating an intimate yet surreal atmosphere. The natural lighting highlights the rich textures of the lush greenery and the distinct contrast of the red and white props against the landscape.
