Uzochukwu pursues fantastical, raw, and queer visuals. He focusses on the visual potential of color, and is driven by questions of resilience and placelessness. Whether he himself or others are subject of his image, he often centers naked bodies in a digitally dissolved space - prioritizing transformation of a given environment over traditional concepts of time and place. His protagonists morph through nature, post production, and performance, until they strip down to an universal core.
