The Mundari are cattle herders of South Sudan who dedicate their lives to the care of their Ankole Watusi cattle. At sunset their cattle camps feels suspended between the earthly and the spiritual. The sky shifts from pale gold to deep orange, bathing everything in a soft and glowing light. Smoke rises from small fires made of dried cattle dung, drifting through the camp and wrapping people and animals in a hazy veil that blurs edges and quiets movement. The air is thick with the scent of earth, ash and livestock, and every sound seems muted as darkness approaches.
