Photographer Beth Moon immortalizes Madagascar’s magnificent baobabs in a poignant black-and-white series. In the fall of 2018, as the island’s oldest 1400-year-old baobab tree collapsed, the Bay Area-based photographer went to the site. Beth Moon has been studying these strange and sublime trees since 2006, in an attempt to visually conserve the species. The thousand-year-old Tsitakakoike baobab, which means “the tree where you can’t hear the cry from the other side”, was also linked to local traditions and was believed to house the ancestral spirits of the Masikoro people. Today these photos are the subject of an online exhibition available through here. A beautiful book is also dedicated to the series.
