"Sweet Memories: The Niger Delta Story"
Depicts both the challenging conditions of living in the Niger Delta and the peaceful, beautiful nature of the place.
Zinno uses the lens of his childhood memories to capture the beauty and peace of the water, often splashed with the most glorious sunsets and the landscape of “floating houses” that seem to have grown out of the river.
He uses the golden hue of the sun-setting sky to capture the wealth of the area and the reflection of the light and colours to capture the depth, beauty and majesty of the water.
The blue colour of the roof draws you into the work, then combines perfectly with the other rooftops to keep the peaceful theme of the work.
