‘Strength Africa’ by award-winning photographer Anne Barlinckhoff journeys through West Africa with remarkable detail. Inspired by love and loss, the oversized color images are intimate portraits that explore the beauty of the quotidian experience—demonstrating the confidence of the artist’s subjects and the profound nuance that has become a hallmark of Barlinckhoff’s work.
