The Boy & the Sling

Asleep next to a drilling site on a Bulldozer, this boy represents the image of recklessness.

    The precise softness of the light denies its sleep any notion of abandonment. The child is carefree, but not vulnerable.

    Une insouciance qui semble loin d'être exempte
    d'un travail éreintant que ce jeune travailleur burkinabé,
    au corps si sculptural, veille à oublier.
    Un portrait qui me fait penser
    à l'Esclave mourant" de Michel-Ange.
    Amitiés. Yda

    A wonderful shot of this boy, in an almost intimate moment and still completly exposed by sleeping next to the construction site. His working glove serves as cussin and protection from the mud. Tired after hard work. The sling around the neck is astonishing - protecting him? a game after hard work?
    Regards,
    Priska
