The photograph not only highlights the striking attire but also offers a glimpse into everyday life on Gor Island. We witness dynamic action as individuals engage with one another amidst a backdrop of charming architecture unique to this region. It is evident that these black Africans exude a sense of pride in their identity and nationality. Quilici Folco's lens skillfully captures the essence of Senegal's negroid populations through his masterful composition.
