Nomadic Radiance: The Himba Chronicles

This photographic series captures the Himbas, Namibia's last nomadic tribe at the Angola frontier, resilient amidst war and drought. From afar, they seem mirage-like in the desert, ochre-adorned skin radiating a copper glow—a protective shield against the harsh sun.
