The Shepherd’s Son
The Shepherd’s Son began with an idea drawn from the biblical story of the Prodigal Son. A story deeply rooted in ideas of home, departure, identity, and return. Rather than retelling the familiar story, however, I wanted to explore what it could mean from a different perspective.

The series follows two young boys photographed around a sheep pen, embracing their surroundings and the culture that shapes them. The sheep pen becomes more than a setting; it represents home, heritage, tradition, and the everyday environment in which identity is formed.

I wanted the photographs to challenge the idea that growth or aspiration must always mean leaving. For many young Africans, especially in a rapidly changing world, there is a constant negotiation between where we come from and who we are becoming.
