EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the resilience and unwavering faith of a young West African boy living in Freetown, Sierra Leone during the hot and humid 1980s. The boy, dressed in simple clothing, gazes directly into the camera with a smile that radiates happiness and contentment. The most striking feature of the image is the crucifix that rests on his forehead, a symbol of his deep-rooted Christian faith. The beads of sweat that trickle down his brow add to the authenticity of the moment, highlighting the harsh living conditions and the intense heat of the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the strength and determination of children, even in the face of adversity. The photo, taken circa 1985, is a powerful representation of childhood, religion, and the human spirit in West Africa during the 1980s.
