A Conversation Between Two Friends.
This Thing of Ours is an ongoing series that spotlights creatives from different industries to share their perspective about what it means to exist and create in our current reality.
In a conversation spanning the message and meanings connected to their work, Chrris Lowe and Willam Ukoh discuss their journeys as image makers. Reflecting on the ways identity shapes their world-building and their shared experiences.
Chrris Lowe is a Toronto-based Photographer and Director focusing on telling visually driven stories injected with deep authenticity. Most of her work focuses on the varied experiences of BIPOC folks. Chrris uses her varied experience in photography, filmmaking and interviewing to craft striking worlds that intentionally explore the human experience in a way that feels raw, engaging and honest.
William Ukoh is a multidisciplinary artist specialising in photography and film direction. Deeply influenced by his Nigerian background, his artistry manifests in vivid palettes of rich colours, intricate textures, and rhythmic movements that echo his cultural heritage. Ukoh doesn’t just capture moments; he dissects them, inviting audiences to delve deeper into the subject matter. His thematic focus examines societal constructs, human relationships, and individual aspirations.
