- Unique patterns -, a photo from Centre-Sud, East

Photographer's Note

There is a uniqueness of the kassena architecture. Its decorative patterns come from the taboos, the ethnical cosmogony of the kassena tribe as well as from its beliefs and icons. Every house is unique. Although the building or rebuilding of the houses is devoted to men after the rainy season, its decoration is fully devoted to women. More to follow...

Salut Eric,

Excellent documentary shot with your great capture and full information. What a difficult life there is. Your way, adding curved walls that full with icons are wonderful while black icons and adobe creating splendid contrasts. Congratulations.

Amicalement,
