EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "North of Merti, Northern Kenya" we are transported to the arid landscapes of East Africa. The image captures a moment of respite for a group of camels as they gather around a northern watering hole. Against the backdrop of vast desert expanses, these majestic creatures find solace in quenching their thirst. The scene is emblematic of the challenges faced by nomadic pastoralists who call this region home. In an unforgiving environment plagued by drought and limited water resources, access to clean drinking water becomes paramount for both humans and animals alike. Here, traditional tribes like the Somali rely on their intimate knowledge of the land to guide them towards these precious oases. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the resilience and adaptability exhibited by these camels but also by the communities that have thrived in such harsh conditions for generations. It serves as a poignant reminder that despite modern development encroaching upon rural areas, there remains an inherent connection between people and nature in sub-Saharan Africa. Through TM's lens, we witness a fleeting yet powerful glimpse into life on the fringes - where survival hinges on finding sustenance amidst adversity. This evocative portrayal invites us to reflect on our own relationship with water and appreciate its significance in sustaining life across diverse landscapes worldwide.
