SARAH WAISWA, SOCIOLOGICAL POETRY

Exposition Paris

Beneath the lens of Sarah Waiswa, faces are provided with gentleness, and individuals seem to bop in the sun of the African continent, bearers of historical past as much as of renewal. Together with her inventive and documentary work, photographer Sarah Waiswa seeks to translate the social points of up to date Africa, as a passage in the direction of potential solutions. Her collection ‘Stranger in a Acquainted Land’ and ‘Nonetheless a Stranger’ use colour as a component of language and the body as a witness, an dermis delicate to its social surroundings, as a metaphor for the photographer with a recent perspective. Thus, poetry meets sociology, harshness and hope merge within the frame, and the image expresses what phrases could not compose with such clarity.
