These designs are applied to adorn the body, express personal creativity, and are used in ceremonies and celebrations. The body often features lines, dots, and natural motifs, transforming it into a living art form that reflects their cultural identity. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas - Fotografía y Viajes. | Facebook
