Riverbed [The Two Nkééngé Sisters] 2018

"Riverbed [The Two Nkééngé Sisters]" (2018) by Pieter Henket is a striking photographic work depicting two women, seemingly sisters, lying in a shallow riverbed surrounded by a lush, verdant forest. The image, captured in a contemplative and somewhat somber tone, uses natural light to illuminate the scene, creating a sense of mystery and depth. The white petals, falling like snow, add a layer of ethereal beauty to the composition, inviting viewers to ponder the narrative behind the image. The piece is a testament to Henket's talent for capturing raw emotion and beauty within the natural world.
