entry description
These portraits of Ethiopian children are part of my Interior Project. In 2016 I took a global ancestry DNA test to know my origins. From the result of this test, I decided to travel to the interior of the countries where my ancestors came from. I have been to Kenia and Ethiopia so far. The Project had started in 2015 when I traveled to the interior of Brazil. After this, I wanted to know even more about the beginning of these cultures and also about my origin. Deep down, the base of the project is to respect the differences, to show that we are more connected than we think.about the photographer
