Description
“Flowers of Ethiopia” is about the Surma tribe – a tribe in the Kibish area well-known for creating Haute Couture out of Nature with their elaborate body painting and outrageously fashionable head pieces made of flowers. The Surma tribe of the Omo Valley, Ethiopia…a place where mankind probably began. The children and teens appear innocent and beautiful, with their ornate body paint work and exotic head decorations made of flowers. The place appears peaceful and untouched, but in reality, life here is harsh with the tribespeople at frequent wars with neighbouring tribes over cattle grazing rights. The line between peace and war is very fine and very blurred. They can be so near to each other, yet at times appear so far from each other.
