“The images we see of Africa tend to be negative. Some people will feel pity for this woman, will think of her as a victim, but what drew me to her was the expression on her face — an expression of great character, strength, and courage. It was the resilience of this woman that compelled me, and for that reason there’s hope in this picture as well. I try very hard in my work to show people with their dignity intact.”
