EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by David Tipling, we are transported to the vibrant lands of Tari in Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea. Standing proudly before us is Hale Johu, an extraordinary Huli Wigman whose story echoes through time. With his face painted in intricate patterns and adorned with a magnificent headdress, Hale Johu's presence commands attention. Feathers from exotic birds like the Superb Bird of Paradise and King of Saxony Bird of Paradise grace his ceremonial dress, showcasing the rich diversity of Papua New Guinea's avian wonders. But it is not just his striking appearance that captivates us; it is also his indomitable spirit. In battle, Hale Johu lost one eye to an arrow - a testament to his bravery and unwavering commitment to protect his tribe. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by David Tipling's lens, we can't help but be inspired by Hale Johu's resilience and strength. His story reminds us that true warriors come in many forms – some wear feathers instead of armor. So let us celebrate this fearless Huli Wigman who embodies tradition and courage. Through artistry and heritage intertwined with nature’s beauty, Hale Johu stands as a symbol of unity for all tribes across Papua New Guinea – reminding us that even when faced with adversity, our spirits can soar higher than any bird in paradise!
