Out of the arid and infertile regions of Africa, Madagascar and Australia, the Baobab Tree grows to a gigantic size, one of the largest living things in the world. I am intrigued by the role that these thousand year old giants play in the lives of its human neighbors. These images reflect the unique relationship of both the resilience and transience of life as I partner the Baobab with a person from the community: a grandmother, a young man, a mother, a boy, a girl. These images are from Mali, South Africa and Madagascar.
