THE GAMBIA
What struck me most in The Gambia wasn't what people lacked but what they kept. These photographs capture hands that build daily what others might build once, faces that hold generations of memory, doorways that welcome without locks. I found myself documenting not poverty—though outsiders might see only this—but a different kind of wealth: the ability to recognize what matters. These images are my attempt to translate what cannot be owned into something that can be seen.
