My photos show children from the Malian town of Sikasso playing roles from traditional tales. They portray animals, moving through a fantasy world that is nevertheless an integral part of our lives. I feel that life can only be sustainable if it is based on non-superficial values and customs. These customs are crucial – the traditional tales told to children educate them, encouraging them to reflect on humans and animals, on their environment, and on their future.
