Kunle Adebayo
a commuter town outside Lagos, Nigeria
Kunle Adebayo grew up on the outskirts of Lagos, where the city noise was a distant hum, replaced by the rhythmic thumping of okada engines and the drone of generators. He followed in his father's footsteps as a small-engine mechanic, treating each engine failure as a personal puzzle to unravel. But in the stillness of his solitary flat and the gentle rumble of the refrigerator, he finds a rare peace, filling his mind with thoughts of those who have passed and the tangible reminders he keeps in the form of their shoes.
