'Few Days to Christmas' is an intimate visual reflection on family, memory, and the quiet persistence of tradition within the home.

This body of work draws from my childhood memories of the days leading up to Christmas, a time once shaped by the presence of my late grandmother. In those days, preparation for the celebration was more than a routine; it was a ritual of storytelling, cooking, gathering, and shared labour that brought the family together.

Today, those memories are relived through the relationship between my mother, Deaconess Ogunyemi, and my nieces. As the holiday approaches each year, I observe how familiar gestures and practices continue to unfold within our home. meals, conversations, and care that sustain family life.

Through these moments, the project explores how traditions survive across generations, carried not through grand ceremonies but through the small, everyday acts that define domestic life. It reflects on the ways African mothers quietly preserve cultural continuity while nurturing the next generation.

At a time when migration, distance, and modern pressures reshape family structures, 'Few Days to Christmas' becomes both a personal archive and a meditation on inheritance, documenting how memory, love, and tradition endure within the ordinary moments of home.

This project has been exhibited, and also published in No! Wahala's Magazine Issue 3, JOY!
