Witness
Before a story becomes public, it is first observed. Deronke's photographs move through rooms, schools, kitchens, camps, clinics, and community spaces with a patient eye — drawn to the gestures that often go unrecorded.
Kawthar sits at the edge of a future she is still trying to afford.
Work, survival, and care meet in the heat of an ordinary day.

A mother's unfinished education becomes a daughter's protected dream.
Some stories return slowly, through care.
