Diaja, Hidden Motives 2

There’s something extraordinary in the ability to tell a story through a photograph and leave the viewer in deep thought. Inasmuch as a book is discussed/ pondered upon by its reader, so should art be.

I decided to be an artist who produces work to start conversations, often ones that are typically hard to talk about, like race and social disparities. The beauty, and symbolism used within my work are a segue for these necessary conversations to take place.

Ceres (Diaja) is a fine art portraiture and conceptual photographer. Diaja's photography is known for storytelling through photographic series. These series' are often inspired by nature, current events, Black/African culture, and social disparities. Her goal as an artist is to impact others, give back to her community, and give a voice to those unheard and overlooked.
