    • THE STORY
      wansan-feuillage-vert

      A land of rich green hues stretching across the acres. Fields of crops and fruit trees. All observed as Zainab walked the property alongside the Fulani family she stayed with in Wansan.

      A profound sense of aliveness.

      Zainab was completely mesmerized by the beauty of Wansan and the tangible way the Fulani are connected to the land on which they live.

      The village is surrounded by an expansive array of lush greenery that was enchanting and idyllic.

    • THE PROCESS

      The watercolor painting of Wansan Feuillage. The foliage depicted here is just a small selection of the many varieties I saw walking around the village. The cattle are grazing among the foliage, which in the textile print appears as if they are in hiding.
