    EPIGRAPH: Welcome to Lagos, Nigeria. The city takes its name from the Portuguese word for “lagoon”. The Portuguese first landed on Lagos Island in the year 1472. Apparently, they could not come up with a more creative name. Nor did they think to ask one of the natives for suggestions. And so the world turns, masked by millions of names, guises, and shifting stories. It’s been a beautiful thing to watch. My designs grow complicated.
