NikNak for SOUND OUT LEEDS 2024/2025 lensed by Em Obeng 📸
Leeds, early 2024
It was my first day back in Leeds after spending the new years in Italy with my love. The winter blues were starting.
Was strolling around the city with Teddy and she said “look that’s you” I said “wym me? the Timberland campaign was last year” but it was indeed my work on walls around the city to promote NikNak’s extraordinary orchestra performance, one of the greatest concert the city of Leeds has ever been blessed with.
I told my mom “look Connie the hard work has been worth it, it’s slowly paying off. I hope you understand this now, that we could make it out.”
