Wodaabe

(46 x 42)

Niger, Africa

Dark and light, earth and sky, good and evil.  Can one exist without the other?  Does one accentuate the other?  When opposites are so apparent many subtleties are missed.  The contrasts of the Niger environment are as stark as the contrast of the Wodaabe man's painted face.  Beauty and harshness are mingled in the seductive gaze that draws one into his world.
