DESCRIPTION
The last Moro Nuba shaman, shaped by the red soil of southern Kordofan (Sudan) and the stories of his ancestors. Every artefact in his hat holds a memory: of hunts, of rituals, of shamanistic beliefs.
The skull and the teeth on his body are not just ornaments. They are commitments to remember, to pass forward what was never written, but always known.
In his silent expression lives a thousand voices. In a world of constant change, he stands timeless.
The Nuba people are dancers, warriors, masters of resilience. They inhabit the Nuba mountains in the South Kordofan region of war-torn Sudan. A place that was completely cut off from the outside world, for decades. Amidst genocides, oppression and abysmal humanitarian conditions, they retained their distinct culture. They are one of the world's most captivating tribes with a deep connection to their homeland.
AUTHOR
Self-taught photographer and passionate traveler. I discovered my passion for photography during traveling African countries.
I had developed a fascination for tribes. This has been underpinned by my passion for photography. Tribal people are those who have unique customs. They often have a symbiotic bond with the environments in which they live.
I am using photography as a medium to capture candid moments as well as community spirit and portraits. And in that moment, through my lens, I am seeking to portray the soul of the places by blending intimate people photography with striking imagery of cultural heritage.
