Alienation (2018) Photography by Djeneba Aduayom

After a career as a professional dancer, Djeneba Aduayom progressed into photography and brought her love of movement and emotive performance into her imagery and subsequent directing work. Drawing inspiration from her multicultural heritage, Aduayom’s concepts and artistic expression are rooted in personal exploration of the inner worlds that reside in her imagination as a direct and instinctual result of her experience of the existing world. In looking within and articulating creative ideas in a visual abstraction that beckons interpretation, she hopes her works allow the outside viewer to travel to a universe of their very own making. Aduayom is based in Southern California.
