While photographing zebra tribes in Tanzania, I became drawn not only to their striking patterns, but to what they seemed to symbolize about belonging, protection, and identity. Herds offer safety, yet they can also blur individuality. Overtime, these encounters, became reflections on learning to trust my own inner voice rather than seeking worth, approval or direction from the collective. The zebras reminded me that one of the greatest gifts a tribe can offer is the strength to eventually step beyond it, carrying your own pattern forward with authenticity and self trust.
