Tightrope Walkers

Weaving in and out of the streets of Ouaga, on bikes, motorcycles, loading or delivering their produces. Their ability to seamlessly move through Ouaga’s valleys despite their own « loads», that’s what makes me call them « tightrope walkers ».

Their « loads » carry the future of their children, the well-being and the financial stability of their families, of their country.
