As I was preparing to take my little cousin's photo he jokingly said to me, "Don't Make Me Look Like the Kids on TV," stunned by this, I decided that I would compile all the photos I had taken during my stay in Ethiopia into a project and make sure people saw a different story. A real story.
Weaving new photos together with the old made it seem as if time was never linear. Without knowing it, the project became a personal journey through space and time in Ethiopia; a self-reflection on my life and identity while still contrasting the out-dated and awfully misleading images of Ethiopia.
