Project description

In “Wata Na Life,” Ngadi Smart addresses the global water crisis, examining in particular the connection between climate change and water in her country of origin, Sierra Leone. She layers various realities of the subject in individual images, creating a collage of effect that seems truer than purely documentary depictions. In her work, water truly becomes an element and a resource, not just a subject.
