This color photograph captures a Dinka woman in South Sudan, balancing a large fish on her head against a deep blue water background. The subject is adorned with traditional beaded necklaces and red pigment on her skin, reflecting the aesthetic traditions of the Nilotic peoples. Beckwith and Fisher have spent over 40 years documenting the traditional ceremonies and daily lives of African cultures, with their work featured in major institutions like the Smithsonian and National Geographic. This piece is an Artist Proof (AP) from a very limited edition, hand-signed by both artists in the lower right margin.
