Wisdom Keepers Blue Nile, Ethiopia 2019

29,7 x 42 A3

In a world that constantly moves forward, there are those who remain
the wisdom keepers, the guardians of knowledge carried not in books,
but in their presence. Wrapped in a shawl woven with time, this elder
stands as a bridge between past and future, his quiet strength a
testament to the resilience that wisdom demands.
The lines on his face are not just marks of age but stories of endurance,
moments of struggle, and triumphs of the spirit. Behind him, a woman
stands, draped in tradition, her presence a reminder that wisdom is
both held and passed down, a cycle that never breaks.
“Wisdom Keepers” is an ode to those who have seen, endured, and
continue to guide. In their stillness, there is vision; in their resilience,
there is focus. They remind us that true progress is not just about
moving forward, it is about carrying the essence of where we have
been.
