Protection
Photo by Giulio D'Ercole
The first title of this shot was "Futile resistance". That's what I thought as I shot it. Though this photo portrays more than that. The Mursi woman, with the traditional labial disk, holding the most common weapon in Africa, the infamous AK47, yet on her back, she holds what she's ready to fight for: her child. It is protection indeed but also a futile resistance against the change soon to come
