A Turkana man sleeps on the western shore of Lake Turkana close to Todonyang near the Kenya-Ethiopia border in northern Kenya on September 25, 2014. The Turkana have historically clashed over ethnic differences and precious resources such as fishing, pasture and fresh water with other tribes bordering their territory such as the Dassanach from southern Ethiopia.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Goran Tomasevic, we are transported to the western shore of Lake Turkana, near Todonyang in northern Kenya. The image captures a moment of tranquility as a Turkana man peacefully sleeps amidst the vast desert landscape. The man's barefoot presence against the sandy soil and tree trunk creates an intimate connection with nature, emphasizing his harmonious coexistence with the environment. With no other individuals in sight, he appears unrecognizable yet undisturbed by his solitude. The striking blue sky serves as a backdrop for this scene, highlighting the open expanse and offering a sense of freedom and serenity. A single blanket covers him, providing comfort and protection from both weather elements and any potential disturbances. This photograph also sheds light on deeper societal issues faced by the Turkana people. Historically plagued by clashes over ethnic differences and limited resources such as fishing, pastureland, and fresh water sources – conflicts that extend beyond borders into neighboring territories like southern Ethiopia where Dassanach tribes reside. Goran Tomasevic's skillful composition invites contemplation about our shared humanity within diverse landscapes while raising awareness about ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities around precious resources. It is through powerful imagery like this that we can foster empathy and understanding across cultures.
