Queen is one of the most famous bands of all times, with contagious rhythm, catching lyrics and wonderful music. They’ve changed rock music forever and their legacy is very well kept to this day.  But we can’t talk about Queen without mentioning Freddie Mercury, one of the best vocals the world has ever had – delivering unforgettable shows, spectacular concerts, and wild parties.

Freddie has made a huge mark in the music world and Queen is still one of the most popular bands because of it, continuing to be an inspiration for all their fans around the world.  

Butcher Billy is a Brazilian designer and illustrator who this time, got his inspiration from this legendary band. He created a series of vintage comic book covers, each one different and inspired by a different song from the group.

This is not the first time for this artist to create comic books covers. He has also made covers for the show Black Mirror, as well as Stranger Things and sometimes even a mix of two or three different movies or songs to achieve a greater effect. His artworks are very refreshing and he’s most certainly breaking all the rules. Butcher Billy has also collaborated with Netflix, Warner Bros, Marvel, LA Times and Washington Post.

We are definitely looking forward to seeing more from this talented artist!

Mixed-media artist Ewa Mos is unapologetically cool. Combining her two passions – illustration and photography – she creates manipulated photographs that are captivating as they are engaging.

A street artist at heart, her unique technique allows her to bring another dimension to the image. “I’m most happy when I can join photo with illustration,” she writes on her website. “All of my illustrations are hand-drawn and colorized in a digital way,” she explains.

“I love to create extraordinary images thanks to my quite unique mixed-media style; weird things, skulls in candy colors, hands, hearts and skulls,” she told the Mill. “All of my works are hand drawn and colorized in digital. I also love to paint, because of my fine art background so street art is a way to continue this passion.”

It’s little wonder the world fell in love with her fresh sense of style, attracting huge clients like Esquire Magazine, ADIDAS, and MISBHV. So what in store for this young punk? “In the future, I would like to become magic mermaid, pirate, skateboarder or ninja,” she says.

David Gilliver is a Scottish photographer who specializes in miniature dolls, and last year he created a series called “Life in Plastic” with the hope of highlighting the epidemic of plastic pollution that is suffocating our planet.  

This work is part of his project “Little People,” in which he brings to life funny worlds using miniature dolls but with the intention of dealing with a very serious topic. 

David says that he spent several days collecting bags full of plastic and garbage that had been discarded next to beautiful places such as the beaches and lakes on the west coast of Scotland. Once he had all this “material”, the photographer kept a part of the garbage for the needs of the project and recycled the rest, then returned to the shores of Lake Lomond to take the photographs for this collection.  

The result is a series of light-hearted, fun and original photographs that are still imbued with an eminent critical voice. David says that his main hope is that this series will contribute to raising awareness about the problem with plastic pollution. 

We hope this will inspire more people to clean their local beautiful spots and be the change they want to see in the world.

With rare exceptions, bus stops these days are never some spectacular architectural accomplishment. But in a different era, and in a different part of the world, they used to be nothing less than grandiose. One photographer went on a chase for some of the most unique bus stops in the world and found true gems in the former USSR countries. A unique kind of brutalist architecture is the main mark of these buildings, but some of them can surprise you with their elaborate elements.  

Canadian photographer Chris Herwig released his amazing collection of photos of bus stops after a long tour of various towns in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Abkhazia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Belarus. After a while he came back to the topic for a second time, this time wanting to repeat his search for stop in Georgia and Ukraine, two of the countries where Soviet ideology left the greatest mark.  

The architectural diversity of these discoveries is still as impressive as in its first volume: there are stops in the form of trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles and even one that incorporates a statue of St. George killing the dragon.

Valeria Palmeiro, better known as Coco Dávez, is known for her colorful touch, exploring different fields, such as painting, photography, and art direction.

Her colorful universe keeps bringing about collaborations with brands such as Chanel, Shiseido, Desigual, Dior, Prada, Vogue, Samsung, New Balance, Kenzo, and Nespresso; and she has exhibited her work in cities like Paris, Queensland, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Madrid. She also published her first book last year, titled Faceless.

“My career began in 2010 when I started posting my artwork on Instagram,” she shared with Square Mile. “I was living in London at the time and was working for the Stockholm agenda; illustrating and photographing the London scene, covering events such as Fashion Week and designing street style illustrations. Thanks to the latter, I managed to secure an inaugural solo exhibition at the Pickpocket Gallery in Lisbon in 2011.”

“Simultaneously, I had started working as an illustrator for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo and moved to London. The Art Director of El Mundo, Rodrigo Sánchez, gave me my first collaborative opportunity. Since then, it’s been a meteoric whirlwind.”

“I’m self-taught and interested in all fields of art,” she went on to explain. “I’ve worked with many diverse clients on all kinds of projects as a photographer, art director, and a painter. I like to mix these mediums but ultimately, I would define myself as an artist.”

Carl Warner is an illustrious professional artist and photographer who’s known for his masterful way of creating striking visual images that are amalgams of photography and art for more than 25 years. He began his career as a still life photographer, then started working in advertising which led him to explore other areas of commercial photography.

The London-based artist shoots all of his subjects in his studio, then seamlessly blends different photographs with each other using Photoshop. In his famous project Bodyscapes, he presents layers of human bodies positioned in a way that forms abstract landscapes, recreating deserts, mountains and barren ravines. The concept worked so well that he then created Foodscapes, a series of vivid landscapes made out of food that look both fantastical and undeniably delicious, inspired by the view of sea of foods at supermarkets.

The process of creating each scene is time-consuming and frustrating, considering that fresh produce wilts quickly under the merciless studio lights, but Warner makes the transformation of ordinary food into a magical landscape look so easy-going and natural that you almost feel like it’s a part of the real world. Using composition and lighting, he balances all elements into a cheerful and elaborate composition which deceives the human eye.

Prepare for cravings as you enjoy his gallery below!

When we say Eva Kosmas Flores is serious about her food art we really mean it. If we could describe her IG profile with two words, they would be: delicate and beautiful.  

Not only does she cook, she also grows her own fruits, vegetables and flowers and uses them to cook food that looks so good you would want to eat your screen and ask for seconds if possible! Based in Portland, Oregon this young girl definitely knows how to make a simple dish look like a million dollars.  

She doesn’t really have a lot of spare time because not only does she cook and take amazing photos, she also runs a blog, a website and has written one cookbook so far. Every single detail on her platter is so carefully thought of, you can actually see it her pictures. The angles, the light, the colors, nothing escapes Eva’s eye.  Her cooking style is rustic. She mainly focuses on heartwarming dishes, and she even makes her own honey and cheese.  

She caters wedding parties and other events, but her favorite activity other than taking pictures is cooking with her friends on her bigfarm. Take a look at her pics!

Sharing the recipe for this delicious lentil soup on up the blog today! It's inspired by the Greek lentil soup my Dad made for our family growing up, but I couldn't help but add a little twist ☺ There's caramelized onions and shiitake mushrooms in there, plus a dash of white wine, to add some umami 'ooph' and complexity to it! 😋 . It's super easy to make, is completely vegetarian, very filling + hearty, and incredibly good for you! 🌿 I always serve it with a slice of big crusty bread for dipping, 'cuz toasted bread soaking up flavorful soup is the BEST. 🙌🏼🥖🙌🏼 . You can grab the recipe via the link in my profile + in my insta stories! Highly recommend making this a nice slow seasonal Sunday and whipping up a big pot for yourself this afternoon 🧡 . As for me, Jeremy and I are heading out to the homestead and are going to check on the trees we planted and do some measurements for the trail we're going to work on making this winter + spring. You can follow along in stories as we attempt to stay 'dry' (aka soak ourselves) in the rain showers 😂 . . . . . . . #firstweeat #soups #eattheworld #soupseason #heresmyfood #foodandwine #foodiegram #farmfresh #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #forkfeed #tastingtable #foodoftheday #insiderfood #lovecooking #homemadefood #lifeandthyme #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee #drooolclub #food4thought #foodadventure #foodieblog #foragebyfolk #eatmunchies #fromscratch

Doing lots of planning for the homestead today, namely researching trail-building and really lovely camping tents. Jeremy and I want to spend more time camping there this summer and are going to make a small wooden platform so we can just leave our tent there and not have to set it up + take it down each time. If you know of any cool + durable tents, I'd love to hear your recommendations! 🏕 . I'm also nerding out about improving compacted soil, since the logging equipment really smashed down all the dirt on the property and made it nearly impossible to dig a small hole without a back-breaking amount of labor. So much of improving soil compaction relates back to all the bacterial and microbial life forms in the soil, so I'm thinking that mulching the areas where we hope to garden someday and then spraying them with a compost tea would be a good place to start. . It's really exciting to start from ground zero, because there's so much potential to grow and we get to make sure that the land is nurtured in the most natural + organic way possible. I know that we share the homestead with a wide variety of animals (we've seen a black bear, a bob cat, and a herd of 20+ elk on our wildlife cam there), and I want to make sure it's a safe and cozy home for them, too! 🦌🧸🐾🐻 . . . . . . . #foodstyling #darlingweekend #fellowmag #foragebyfolk #farmtotable #myopentable #morningslikethese #thatsgoodhousekeeping #thehomesteadlife #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #thehappynow #foodwinewomen #yahoofood #igersportland #foodphotography #foodstagram #inmykitchen #instafood #pgminseason #slowfood #storyofmytable #tablesituation #tastespotting #thekitchn #vscofood #bbcgoodfood #beautifulcuisines #thatauthenticfeeling

Spent yesterday morning getting our new bee 'nuc' settled into their hive. They seemed very content and well-tempered (aka no "angry" buzzing sounds coming from them, just soft buzzing). 🌻 . There was some honey comb, and also some brood comb, so the queen was doing her baby-making thing. Brood comb is comb that is filled with eggs and baby bees instead of honey, and it looks a bit different on the outside. Where honeycomb is capped white, brood comb is capped gold and is lumpier. 🍯 . The frame in this photo is honeycomb, that's why it's white at the very top where it's capped. The lower half of the frame is still empty, because the bees have built out the wax comb but not yet filled it with tasty honey 😋 . The queen is the only bee in the whole hive of thousands of other bees who can actually lay eggs, so the survival of the entire colony depends on her ability to reproduce for them. 🌿 . There's a crazy complex social structure going on in there that would take me a long time to write about, but if you're interested in bee keeping, I highly recommend checking out the book "The Queen Must Die" by William Longgood. By far the best book about bees + beekeeping that I've ever read! 👌🏼 . Can't wait to share more peeks at the hive with y'all over the summer as these ladies start enjoying more and more of the pollen from the garden 🐝🌼🐝 . . . . . . . #mygarden #instagardeners #gardenlove #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #inmygarden #trädgård #jardin #hage #giardino #outdoorliving #outdoorlife #instagarden #loves_garden #instagardenlovers #Forageandharvest #botanical #growsomethinggreen #growyourownfood #garden_explorers #garden_styles #organicgardening #folkscenery #forageandharvest #foragedbouquet #floweroftheday #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #petitejoys

Photographer and musician, Greta María Ásgeirsdóttir, captures intimate portraits of her family and friends. The Iceland-born, Berlin-based artist finished her BA in Photography in 2017, and has since been hard at work.

Moving between art and documentary; her main work includes portraits. She captures fleeting moments with modest means, employing a methodology as paired down as her subjects. The result is heartwarming, if somewhat nostalgic.

“I never thought about being a photographer,” admitted Ásgeirsdóttir in an interview with wertn. “It was my dad who suggested it when I finished high school. I wanted to move abroad but I did not know what to study, and he knew that I liked Berlin, but I was looking at literature studies etc, and he said ‘why don’t you do photography? It’s what you’re doing right now!'”

Indeed, Ásgeirsdóttir showed an interest in photography early on. “I bought my first camera when I was 12, and took photos of leaves on the ground,” she admitted. Her photo-shoots have a spontaneity to them that can’t be duplicated. “I tried to do more shootings where I plan everything but I never end up with that result; I think it also should be fun, and I really like having a bit of freedom without a very clear idea beforehand, instead of thinking ‘I have to make it perfect,'” she explained.

Take a look at some of her striking portraits.

Nigerian-American artist Dawn Okoro makes bold Afropunk portraits that poke holes at Western ideals of feminine beauty. Living and working in Austin, Texas, Okoro received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas, and her Law degree from Texas Southern University. But it was her strong desire to become an artist that sparked her interest in fashion illustration, photography, and design.

Using oil, acrylic, and pencils, Okoro’s work is informed by the composition techniques used in fashion photography. “Her artwork embodies space, movement, pattern, design, texture, and color; as well as lived experiences and self-reflexivity,” reads her website.

“The purpose of my art is to be visually stimulating while creating a topic for conversation,” explained the artist in an interview with Super.Selected. “My work captures, femininity as a social construct as well as biological attributes. My work captures a lot of the Western ideals of femininity when I include stilettos, clothing that accentuates the waistline, and certain body shapes. On the other hand, I want to challenge Western ideals of feminine beauty.  That is why I paint more women who look like me – women of color.”

“I try to create work that is aesthetically pleasing,” she went on to say. “It has turned out, what is visually striking to me is also aesthetically pleasing to a lot of people.” According to Okoro: “art can be a tool for political activism. First it’s a way to draw attention to an issue. Art can make people ask questions. Second, art can unite the public so that they can engage and contribute to change.”

Take a look at some of her striking creations that incorporate photography, collages, fashion, and paintings.

The result is a series of light-hearted, fun and original photographs that are still imbued with an eminent critical voice. David says that his main hope is that this series will contribute to raising awareness about the problem with plastic pollution. 

We hope this will inspire more people to clean their local beautiful spots and be the change they want to see in the world.

With rare exceptions, bus stops these days are never some spectacular architectural accomplishment. But in a different era, and in a different part of the world, they used to be nothing less than grandiose. One photographer went on a chase for some of the most unique bus stops in the world and found true gems in the former USSR countries. A unique kind of brutalist architecture is the main mark of these buildings, but some of them can surprise you with their elaborate elements.  

Canadian photographer Chris Herwig released his amazing collection of photos of bus stops after a long tour of various towns in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Abkhazia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Belarus. After a while he came back to the topic for a second time, this time wanting to repeat his search for stop in Georgia and Ukraine, two of the countries where Soviet ideology left the greatest mark.  

The architectural diversity of these discoveries is still as impressive as in its first volume: there are stops in the form of trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles and even one that incorporates a statue of St. George killing the dragon.

Valeria Palmeiro, better known as Coco Dávez, is known for her colorful touch, exploring different fields, such as painting, photography, and art direction.

Her colorful universe keeps bringing about collaborations with brands such as Chanel, Shiseido, Desigual, Dior, Prada, Vogue, Samsung, New Balance, Kenzo, and Nespresso; and she has exhibited her work in cities like Paris, Queensland, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona, and Madrid. She also published her first book last year, titled Faceless.

“My career began in 2010 when I started posting my artwork on Instagram,” she shared with Square Mile. “I was living in London at the time and was working for the Stockholm agenda; illustrating and photographing the London scene, covering events such as Fashion Week and designing street style illustrations. Thanks to the latter, I managed to secure an inaugural solo exhibition at the Pickpocket Gallery in Lisbon in 2011.”

“Simultaneously, I had started working as an illustrator for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo and moved to London. The Art Director of El Mundo, Rodrigo Sánchez, gave me my first collaborative opportunity. Since then, it’s been a meteoric whirlwind.”

“I’m self-taught and interested in all fields of art,” she went on to explain. “I’ve worked with many diverse clients on all kinds of projects as a photographer, art director, and a painter. I like to mix these mediums but ultimately, I would define myself as an artist.”

Carl Warner is an illustrious professional artist and photographer who’s known for his masterful way of creating striking visual images that are amalgams of photography and art for more than 25 years. He began his career as a still life photographer, then started working in advertising which led him to explore other areas of commercial photography.

The London-based artist shoots all of his subjects in his studio, then seamlessly blends different photographs with each other using Photoshop. In his famous project Bodyscapes, he presents layers of human bodies positioned in a way that forms abstract landscapes, recreating deserts, mountains and barren ravines. The concept worked so well that he then created Foodscapes, a series of vivid landscapes made out of food that look both fantastical and undeniably delicious, inspired by the view of sea of foods at supermarkets.

The process of creating each scene is time-consuming and frustrating, considering that fresh produce wilts quickly under the merciless studio lights, but Warner makes the transformation of ordinary food into a magical landscape look so easy-going and natural that you almost feel like it’s a part of the real world. Using composition and lighting, he balances all elements into a cheerful and elaborate composition which deceives the human eye.

Prepare for cravings as you enjoy his gallery below!

When we say Eva Kosmas Flores is serious about her food art we really mean it. If we could describe her IG profile with two words, they would be: delicate and beautiful.  

Not only does she cook, she also grows her own fruits, vegetables and flowers and uses them to cook food that looks so good you would want to eat your screen and ask for seconds if possible! Based in Portland, Oregon this young girl definitely knows how to make a simple dish look like a million dollars.  

She doesn’t really have a lot of spare time because not only does she cook and take amazing photos, she also runs a blog, a website and has written one cookbook so far. Every single detail on her platter is so carefully thought of, you can actually see it her pictures. The angles, the light, the colors, nothing escapes Eva’s eye.  Her cooking style is rustic. She mainly focuses on heartwarming dishes, and she even makes her own honey and cheese.  

She caters wedding parties and other events, but her favorite activity other than taking pictures is cooking with her friends on her bigfarm. Take a look at her pics!

Sharing the recipe for this delicious lentil soup on up the blog today! It's inspired by the Greek lentil soup my Dad made for our family growing up, but I couldn't help but add a little twist ☺ There's caramelized onions and shiitake mushrooms in there, plus a dash of white wine, to add some umami 'ooph' and complexity to it! 😋 . It's super easy to make, is completely vegetarian, very filling + hearty, and incredibly good for you! 🌿 I always serve it with a slice of big crusty bread for dipping, 'cuz toasted bread soaking up flavorful soup is the BEST. 🙌🏼🥖🙌🏼 . You can grab the recipe via the link in my profile + in my insta stories! Highly recommend making this a nice slow seasonal Sunday and whipping up a big pot for yourself this afternoon 🧡 . As for me, Jeremy and I are heading out to the homestead and are going to check on the trees we planted and do some measurements for the trail we're going to work on making this winter + spring. You can follow along in stories as we attempt to stay 'dry' (aka soak ourselves) in the rain showers 😂 . . . . . . . #firstweeat #soups #eattheworld #soupseason #heresmyfood #foodandwine #foodiegram #farmfresh #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #forkfeed #tastingtable #foodoftheday #insiderfood #lovecooking #homemadefood #lifeandthyme #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee #drooolclub #food4thought #foodadventure #foodieblog #foragebyfolk #eatmunchies #fromscratch

Doing lots of planning for the homestead today, namely researching trail-building and really lovely camping tents. Jeremy and I want to spend more time camping there this summer and are going to make a small wooden platform so we can just leave our tent there and not have to set it up + take it down each time. If you know of any cool + durable tents, I'd love to hear your recommendations! 🏕 . I'm also nerding out about improving compacted soil, since the logging equipment really smashed down all the dirt on the property and made it nearly impossible to dig a small hole without a back-breaking amount of labor. So much of improving soil compaction relates back to all the bacterial and microbial life forms in the soil, so I'm thinking that mulching the areas where we hope to garden someday and then spraying them with a compost tea would be a good place to start. . It's really exciting to start from ground zero, because there's so much potential to grow and we get to make sure that the land is nurtured in the most natural + organic way possible. I know that we share the homestead with a wide variety of animals (we've seen a black bear, a bob cat, and a herd of 20+ elk on our wildlife cam there), and I want to make sure it's a safe and cozy home for them, too! 🦌🧸🐾🐻 . . . . . . . #foodstyling #darlingweekend #fellowmag #foragebyfolk #farmtotable #myopentable #morningslikethese #thatsgoodhousekeeping #thehomesteadlife #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #thehappynow #foodwinewomen #yahoofood #igersportland #foodphotography #foodstagram #inmykitchen #instafood #pgminseason #slowfood #storyofmytable #tablesituation #tastespotting #thekitchn #vscofood #bbcgoodfood #beautifulcuisines #thatauthenticfeeling

Spent yesterday morning getting our new bee 'nuc' settled into their hive. They seemed very content and well-tempered (aka no "angry" buzzing sounds coming from them, just soft buzzing). 🌻 . There was some honey comb, and also some brood comb, so the queen was doing her baby-making thing. Brood comb is comb that is filled with eggs and baby bees instead of honey, and it looks a bit different on the outside. Where honeycomb is capped white, brood comb is capped gold and is lumpier. 🍯 . The frame in this photo is honeycomb, that's why it's white at the very top where it's capped. The lower half of the frame is still empty, because the bees have built out the wax comb but not yet filled it with tasty honey 😋 . The queen is the only bee in the whole hive of thousands of other bees who can actually lay eggs, so the survival of the entire colony depends on her ability to reproduce for them. 🌿 . There's a crazy complex social structure going on in there that would take me a long time to write about, but if you're interested in bee keeping, I highly recommend checking out the book "The Queen Must Die" by William Longgood. By far the best book about bees + beekeeping that I've ever read! 👌🏼 . Can't wait to share more peeks at the hive with y'all over the summer as these ladies start enjoying more and more of the pollen from the garden 🐝🌼🐝 . . . . . . . #mygarden #instagardeners #gardenlove #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #inmygarden #trädgård #jardin #hage #giardino #outdoorliving #outdoorlife #instagarden #loves_garden #instagardenlovers #Forageandharvest #botanical #growsomethinggreen #growyourownfood #garden_explorers #garden_styles #organicgardening #folkscenery #forageandharvest #foragedbouquet #floweroftheday #flashesofdelight #pursuepretty #petitejoys

Photographer and musician, Greta María Ásgeirsdóttir, captures intimate portraits of her family and friends. The Iceland-born, Berlin-based artist finished her BA in Photography in 2017, and has since been hard at work.

Moving between art and documentary; her main work includes portraits. She captures fleeting moments with modest means, employing a methodology as paired down as her subjects. The result is heartwarming, if somewhat nostalgic.

“I never thought about being a photographer,” admitted Ásgeirsdóttir in an interview with wertn. “It was my dad who suggested it when I finished high school. I wanted to move abroad but I did not know what to study, and he knew that I liked Berlin, but I was looking at literature studies etc, and he said ‘why don’t you do photography? It’s what you’re doing right now!'”

Indeed, Ásgeirsdóttir showed an interest in photography early on. “I bought my first camera when I was 12, and took photos of leaves on the ground,” she admitted. Her photo-shoots have a spontaneity to them that can’t be duplicated. “I tried to do more shootings where I plan everything but I never end up with that result; I think it also should be fun, and I really like having a bit of freedom without a very clear idea beforehand, instead of thinking ‘I have to make it perfect,'” she explained.

Take a look at some of her striking portraits.

Nigerian-American artist Dawn Okoro makes bold Afropunk portraits that poke holes at Western ideals of feminine beauty. Living and working in Austin, Texas, Okoro received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas, and her Law degree from Texas Southern University. But it was her strong desire to become an artist that sparked her interest in fashion illustration, photography, and design.

Using oil, acrylic, and pencils, Okoro’s work is informed by the composition techniques used in fashion photography. “Her artwork embodies space, movement, pattern, design, texture, and color; as well as lived experiences and self-reflexivity,” reads her website.

“The purpose of my art is to be visually stimulating while creating a topic for conversation,” explained the artist in an interview with Super.Selected. “My work captures, femininity as a social construct as well as biological attributes. My work captures a lot of the Western ideals of femininity when I include stilettos, clothing that accentuates the waistline, and certain body shapes. On the other hand, I want to challenge Western ideals of feminine beauty.  That is why I paint more women who look like me – women of color.”

“I try to create work that is aesthetically pleasing,” she went on to say. “It has turned out, what is visually striking to me is also aesthetically pleasing to a lot of people.” According to Okoro: “art can be a tool for political activism. First it’s a way to draw attention to an issue. Art can make people ask questions. Second, art can unite the public so that they can engage and contribute to change.”

Take a look at some of her striking creations that incorporate photography, collages, fashion, and paintings.
