'You need to make a memory, step by step, so that you can pass down good memories to the young ones who'll come after you to those who have yet to be born. You may no longer be here, but your images will and they'll see them. [...] Photography is a witness to everything... For me, without any photos, nothing actually happened.' -Sory Sanlé
