After graduating high school in 2020, De’Ojamir’s perception of the world shifted completely. The isolation and chaos of the COVID era forced him to slow down, and question everything about the world around him. For the first time, he began to see beyond the surface of society and systems built to divide and control. His work is now a form of resistance, cultural expression, and storytelling. Reminding people to look deeper, and that everything isn't really what it seems.
