At the exhibition’s opening, Tayo shared insights into his creative process. “This collection reflects a celebration of identity, resilience, and the simplicity of daily life. I wanted to capture the essence of what home means to different people and to highlight the uniqueness of our communities,” he stated.

The Accra-based gallery hosting the exhibition praised Tayo’s work for its authenticity and impact. A gallery representative remarked, “Stephen Tayo’s photography resonates deeply with viewers. His ability to showcase African identity through such intimate and genuine portrayals adds an important perspective to contemporary African art.”

Tayo’s work has previously been featured in notable publications and galleries, with his photographs gaining attention for their strong visual narrative and cultural significance. His exhibition in Accra will be open to the public through May 15, 2021, providing an opportunity for locals and visitors to experience his interpretation of African identity and heritage.
