A striking and unsettling portrait by South African photographer Pieter Hugo, this chromogenic print captures Abdullahi Mohammed alongside Mainasara, a spotted hyena, in Ogere-Remo, Nigeria. Part of Hugo's acclaimed "Gadawan Kura" series, the image documents the hyena handlers of Nigeria, presenting an intimate yet tension-filled relationship between man and wild animal. The flush-mounted print's vivid color and sharp detail emphasize the raw, visceral bond between the subject and the powerful creature at his side.
