Oto-Abasi Attah is a visual storyteller from Inglewood, CA. The stories he tells are those of his people. By depicting the polarities of life, he sheds a light on the balance between contrast.
He strives to honor the past that led us to our current state of being, while offering a space to dream of a world where we can all just be. He achieves this by using a disposition similar to a child, always asking questions and never satisfied. He implores that we all learn from the greatest teacher, nature. Nature is always learning and one with its surroundings trying to balance itself.
His work is fueled by the lack of appetite for learning, a burning desire for his people to see and be seen and our stories heard, with a gaze fixated on a liberated future. His work offers a space for people to reflect on the chaos of their daily lives and find a moment of peace. He hopes that these same values of nuance are seen and can bring harmony.
