Ghosts in Dakar
Ghosts in Dakar is a reflection of my emotions while on a 3 week trip to Senegal. I felt just as out of place and singled out as I do here in the United states. I felt like a ghost, something everyone was in disbelief to see; a commodity. Additionally, this trip was inspiring me to face my own ghosts of my past, reconnecting with Allah and myself, seeking and finding the internal connection I thought I had lost.

Hazen (ሓዘን) means grief in Tigriniya, my first language. Many woman in my culture experianc copious amounts of grief in their life time. From loosing children to the war for independence to being separated from their families for decades at a time. Being part of the Eritrean diaspora, I wanted to pay homage to out mothers grief.
