Nadirie’s elaborate headpiece reflects the cultural crossroads in which the El Molo have lived for generations. Beadwork, worked metal and fine chains are brought together in an ornament that shares elements with the traditions of neighbouring Samburu and Turkana peoples, while El Molo women maintained distinctive forms of jewellery of their own. From its central forehead ornament, two chains descend across the face and sweep beneath the eyes, creating an almost veil-like geometry. It is a striking example of how adornment around Lake Turkana developed not in isolation, but through generations of exchange between neighbouring peoples — materials and ideas absorbed, reworked and ultimately made their own.

Framing
Each Exhibition Edition and Artist’s Proof is archivally mounted onto an acid-free substrate, ensuring the photograph remains perfectly flat while providing additional protection and longevity.
The work is double mounted, retaining a considered white border, and presented within a handcrafted hardwood box frame.

ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS
Selected photographs from the collection may also be commissioned as Architectural Prints, custom-produced for residential, commercial, hospitality and interior installations.
Created specifically for the space in which they will be seen, Architectural Prints can be produced in custom dimensions and a range of contemporary presentation formats, including Diasec, acrylic and aluminium mounting.
In these formats, the photographic image becomes an integral part of the finished piece, permanently bonded to its presentation and intended to remain as such.
Architectural Prints are unsigned and unnumbered and exist entirely outside the limited Exhibition Editions and Artist’s Proofs.
Please enquire to discuss dimensions, presentation and pricing.
