Scar is a collection of scarification and body
modification images from the Surma tribe in the
Lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia. Scarification and
body modification are major cultural components to
the Surma and while most scarification is aesthetic
in nature, certain scars and body modifications are
more symbolic. Scar is a visual journey into the
world of African tribal scarification and body
modification as represented in the Surma tribe of
Ethiopia.
