PATHS OF FAITH - ETHIOPIA

In Ethiopia, faith is not separate from daily life — it is embedded in the land, in movement, and in the structures that shape collective existence.

From the streets of Addis Ababa to the highlands of Lalibela and the southern territories of the Dorze and Konso, spirituality unfolds through gestures, rituals, and built forms that persist across centuries.

This photographic essay traces these intersections — where landscape, body, and belief converge — revealing a continuum between the sacred and the ordinary.
