Study of Arbore Virgin
Arbore women are well know for their long headdresses. The girls shave their heads to indicate virginity, and only start growing hair after marriage.
Arbore tribe, Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia
© JOEY LI’m a little disturbed the title of this photograph. I don’t like that he went there and went around photographing young virgins. I mean, would it be OK for me to head on over to Denmark and start photographing young virgins there too? Let’s not ditch our ethical standards just because we find ourselves ‘fascinated’ by a culture that’s not our own.
She is so beautiful. What is her name, how old is she, what are her dreams, what are her hopes and her fears? I wish you had asked her those things so you can tell us about her. You took away her name and her identity. Who is she? The title of this photo is extremely insulting.
