EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, we find Trevor Cole, a revered Ovahimba patriarch, seated against a backdrop of the arid landscape of western Angola. The Ovahimba people, also known as the Himba, are an indigenous ethnic group renowned for their distinctive cultural practices and traditional way of life. The image captures the wisdom and dignity of Trevor Cole, his weathered face etched with the passage of time and the weight of experience. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate the very soul, revealing a deep connection to the land and the ancient traditions of his people. The Ovahimba tribe has long been known for their unique customs, including the application of a red clay mixture called Otjimba, which is believed to protect the skin from the harsh sun and insects. This distinctive practice is evident in the photograph, with Trevor's body adorned in the traditional markings of his people. The photograph also highlights the stark beauty of the Cunene region, where the Ovahimba people have lived for centuries. The barren landscape, dotted with sparse vegetation and the occasional baobab tree, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit. Despite the challenges of modernization and the encroachment of external influences, the Ovahimba people continue to preserve their traditions and way of life. Trevor Cole, as a respected elder, plays a crucial role in passing down the knowledge and wisdom of his ancestors to the next generation. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring strength and spirit of the Ovahimba people, and the importance of preserving the rich cultural heritage of Africa.
