Nana Yaw Oduro, Photographer, Paris

Description

This photographic work by Nana Yaw Oduro features a young Black child lying flat on his back atop dry, cracked earth. The subject wears white shorts marked with dark polka dots and is surrounded by an arranged white cord outlining his form on the ground. Natural lighting illuminates the scene, highlighting the textured ground and the stark composition. The high-angle perspective captures the subject's direct gaze toward the camera, creating a quiet and contemplative atmosphere. The contrast between the organic cracked terrain and the patterned shorts emphasizes the striking visual arrangement.
