I look at this photo and think of me going through discovering my pleasures. What makes me enjoy my self. What makes me enjoy others. How my sensuality wants to express itself. The shit i learnt about my body is insane. I look at it and think of this shoot being @etanapatriot first nude shoot. A full embrace of the divinity that is her body. She embodied Goddess Oshun.

We artists are often counted as awkward by people who know nothing of how it feels to have another spirit live within you - the muse. Ancient people said muses were goddesses and ruled upon the arts. When a muse forms into your mind and splits your spirit in two, you are already seized by it and so you are bound to serve it and create masterpieces. It is not just we who create muses. They create us too. They form us into who we are. ________________________________________________ Going back to the location that started it all. Both of us in front of the camera. My first time being tied....What an incredible way to celebrate 3 years of #AnArtistAndHerMuse relationship. 3 years of friendship.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.

When virtue and modesty enlighten her charms, the lustre of a beautiful woman is brighter than the stars of heaven, and the influence of her power it is in vain to resist.
