UniverSouls
A project that brings together sci-fi and manga for all fantasy fans!
The producers and models for this photography series are Borelson and Binta, both sci-fi and anime fans who decided to bring afro futurism to a new level.
The series came to be after Borelson’s hairstylist styled his hair in such a way that people drew comparisons to characters such as Goku and Vegeta. This sparked the idea to do a manga/sci-fi inspired photoshoot.
A few months later Borelson met Binta – consequently a fan of sci-fi and together they gathered the crew and equipment needed to bring the project to life.
From that 'UniverSouls' was born.
I am fan of science fiction. My favorite movie is Star Wars. I have always dreamed of black women superheroes. I think we lack representation and sharing such images can be powerful and helpful for our generation as well as for future generations.
