EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "20074008" photographer Mary Jelliffe transports us to the enchanting land of Mali, specifically to the Bandiagara Escarpment's Ireli Village. The image captures a Dogon woman as she tends to her daily chores at a well, accompanied by her loyal goat herd. The scene is set against a backdrop of twisted and misshapen trees, which stand as silent witnesses to the harsh realities faced by these resilient villagers. As we gaze upon this snapshot of rural life in Africa, we are reminded of the vital role that agriculture plays in sustaining communities. With scarce grazing options available beneath those weathered trees, it becomes evident that water scarcity poses an additional challenge for these hardworking individuals. Yet, their determination shines through as they diligently work together to ensure their animals receive nourishment amidst such adversity. Mary Jelliffe's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this momentary glimpse into another world – one where nature and human labor intertwine harmoniously. Through her lens, we witness not only the physical demands placed on these villagers but also their unwavering connection with the land and its creatures. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the beauty and challenges inherent in African agricultural practices while honoring the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by those who depend on them for survival.
