Mother's Pride.jpg
Mother and child return home after collecting firewood. BURKINA FASO.
Due to declining forest collecting firewood for cooking often means travelling great distances on foot. Here the mother returns home under the heat of the midday sun with wood that will only last a couple of days. I found the mothers powerful expression, even after hours of hard physical labor, symbolic of the fortitude of these resilient people.
