In his latest project, A Tribe at the Crossroads: 20 years in Ethiopia, Dome delves into the struggles faced by the Mursi tribe as they navigate the challenges of modernity while striving to preserve their traditional ways of life. The months he has spent living among the Mursi ensures that Dome’s lens portrays them not as exotic subjects but as individuals with dignity and humanity.
Dome’s intimate and deeply human photographs continue to illuminate the universal values and challenges faced by people around the world, celebrating the resilience and beauty of the human spirit.
