Photographer Aaron Mervin opened his The ‘Natural Nywele – Photography Exhibit,’ showcasing naturalistas. The striking photo collection opened at the recent downtown Art Walk inside the Main Library. This exhibit celebrates the beauty and diversity of hair and examines how hair plays a significant part of our identity. “From birth, hair defines the characteristics of who we are,” said Mervin.
The exhibit is curated by Terry Parker high school graduate and 40 year skilled photographer Aaron Mervin. Mervin earned his A.S. Degree in photography on the campus of Daytona State College.
“I received my first camera at the age of 15, earned one-hundred dollars for the job and the rest is history,” smiled Mervin. Always searching for visual projects that educate and nurture the minds of his clients, the ‘Natural Nywele,” exhibit is an expression to his testimony of black hair heritage from around the world.
