kuni ori

 

“Kuni Ori?” — “Where do you come from?” the Suri man asks photographer Henk Bothof. It is the beginning of a rare connection, one that has lasted more than 20 years.Drawn by a deep fascination for the Suri people of Ethiopia, Bothof has created an extraordinary body of work. His portraits, captured with compassion and patience, reveal a culture rooted in beauty, ritual, and resilience. Some photographs feel sculptural in their stillness; others pulse with life and color.In this limited-edition book
