Let Them Be Free // Juror // Deji Osinulu is a professional photographer who grew up in Lagos, Nigeria in a family of photography lovers. He moved to Houston in 1996 to attend graduate school and has made Houston home ever since. He got back into photography about 15 years ago after buying an old camera off a friend, and what started as a hobby soon became a full time profession. He is currently working on a project called Pluribus, a series of portraits exploring the phrase "e pluribus unum", and a few questions surrounding that notion. Since almost all of us either descend from immigrants or are immigrants, what does it mean to assimilate vs integrate? What is gained by or lost in that process to each succeeding generation from the generations that came before them?
