The Himba women of Angola are renowned for their ancestral beauty rooted in harmony with nature. They cover their skin and hair with otjize (a mixture of red ochre and butter), which protects them from the sun and symbolizes life, fertility, and identity. Their hairstyles indicate age and marital status, and they adorn themselves with necklaces and bracelets of shells and metal, expressing elegance, cultural pride, and community belonging. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas - Fotografía y Viaj
