Lagos, Nigeria, boasts a vibrant display of street flowers that add color and life to the urban landscape. These flowers are well-suited to the city’s warm and humid climate, flourishing in the tropical environment.
This collection of photos by Bolaji Alonge – Eyes of a Lagos Boy, is a splash of intense color and emotions. The artist uses macro photography to show the inner world of street flowers of Lagos.
These flowers grow in city gardens and sidewalks in between the dirt and rubble. They symbolize the beauty of nature, both fragile and strong at the same time. Together with Lagosians, they stand proudly in the midst of the urban jungle.
Alonge’s photography often highlights everyday scenes, street life, and cultural events, portraying the dynamic spirit of the city and its people.
Sometimes, it is the “small” things in life can make all the difference. However, once enlarged, they can become magical objects of wonder. The images are untouched or edited, no filter nor fillers used. It is pure nature.
“Street Flowers of Lagos” forever immortalized in hi-gloss acrylic and canvas Limited Edition Prints by Eyes of a Lagos Boy.
