Suri Family in the Cornfield

In the Omo Valley, where mankind may have begun, they now face the endgame for their traditional way of life. I think of how many times in history this story has been played out by native populations trying to save their way of life. I want to create a visual document that reminds us, and generations to come, how beautiful and diverse the human world once was.
