Tembo's Earth Song - 2024, Kenya 
 
Tembo is the Swahili word for an elephant, and in this intimate portrait, we witness the soul of a magnificent being through eye and tusk. The curve of the trunk and the ritualistic dusting behavior connect this elephant directly to the earth beneath—part of an ancient dialogue between steward and land. As the elephant bathes in the fine soil, each particle clings to weathered skin, telling stories of drought and abundance, of migrations and resting places known only to elephants. This earth-body connection reveals a wisdom that transcends generations, passed down through rumbles felt through footpads and vibrations detected miles away. Through this close perspective, we're invited into a beautifully foreign world where dust is both cleansing ritual and communication—Tembo's earth song, performed against the vast African landscape that has shaped these majestic beings for millennia.
