Lalibela: Shadows of the Sacred.

—  PERSONAL PROJECT / Documentary Photography  —

Shadows of the Sacred, captures the deep connection between spirituality, tradition, and the human search for meaning in one of Ethiopia’s most sacred places.

Inspired by my passion for exploring spiritual journeys, this series reflects the timeless rituals and quiet resilience of the pilgrims who find their way to Lalibela. In this ancient town, faith is not just an abstract concept but an integral part of daily life, woven into the very fabric of existence.

The intention behind this work is to evoke the silent yet powerful presence of devotion that fills this landscape, providing a glimpse into a world where every step is a testament to unwavering faith. This series aims not just to tell a visual story, but to invite reflection on the spiritual depths of Lalibela.
