Symbiosis

This body of work follows an inspiring project to reintegrate the Maasai people onto their ancestral land among wild animals, seeking a symbiosis between them and the surrounding wildlife. The Maasai, an ancient tribe of Kenya, have remarkably preserved their cultural heritage despite the pressures of modernity and the encroachment of their rangelands, which has led to increased human-wildlife conflict. Their creation story, intricately woven into their daily lives, reflects their profound respect for the natural world.

This project is a tribute to the enduring power of tradition and the possibility for harmony, especially in a time when both culture and nature are increasingly under threat. It serves as a reminder that the wisdom of the past can guide us toward a future where the natural world and ancient cultures are treasured and safeguarded.
