INSPIRATION

Golden Hour Commute is part of Olaonipekun’s evocative Danfo Chronicles series—a visual diary by Onafuye Olaonipekun Samuel that explores the vibrant rhythm of Lagos through its iconic yellow buses. Set against a backdrop of towering buildings bathed in warm, reflective light, this piece captures the tension between haste and pause, isolation and shared experience.

With expressive brushstrokes and impressionistic layers of color, Olaonipekun elevates a routine urban moment into a cinematic narrative—one that celebrates the poetry of movement, the resilience of its people, and the textured soul of a city always in motion.
