As an art enthusiast, I love collecting coffee table books for home décor. Coffee table books serve as portals to alternate realities, offering glimpses into thought-provoking photos and showcasing the rich tapestry of art, design, and storytelling through pages.
A new edition I've added to my growing collection is CAMO by Thandiwe Muriu.

In CAMO, Muriu shoots through an Afrofuturistic lens showcasing her subjects in gorgeous Ankara fabrics and custom shades as an ode to high fashion. From bold patterns to vibrant colors, the photos highlight amazing Afrocentric aesthetics by merging tradition with modernity.
This coffee table book explores Afrofuturism, its impact on popular culture, and its role in shaping the future of storytelling through photography. I felt it was giving very much Wakanda Forever vibes.
I think CAMO by Thandiwe Muriu is a must-have book for those eager to delve into the depths of Afrofuturist creativity.
As for me, I'm going to sip on a mocktail and enjoy!
