Queer, femme, multidisciplinary creative Alexandra Obochi is a one-person team. The multi-hyphenate from Abuja, Nigeria is the director, photographer, designer, and stylist behind vibrant images that tell rich stories and uplift hidden subcultures.

“In a stark desert land where dryness and hopelessness prevail, the people stand as the oasis—a beacon of resilience amidst harsh conditions. Our collective strength and unwavering spirit defy the odds, nurturing life and fostering hope in an unforgiving environment.

As the oasis, we symbolize perseverance, sustenance, and the promise of better days. Amidst arid landscapes, our presence signifies renewal, offering a glimpse of vitality and abundance. Like water in the desert, our unity and determination quench the thirst for progress and change.
