This man was part of a group of performers at a Sing-Sing in a remote village in the Sepik River area of Papua New Guinea. He used the colors of the PNG flag to paint his face. He looked straight into my camera wearing this sad expression. The result a gorgeous image emanating a quiet melancholy.
The Soul2Soul Collection consists of 55 intimate portraits taken by photographer Hans Kemp over many decades of travel across Asia.

Coming face to face with strangers we are often apprehensive of the other. And yet, in so many ways, differences are made up, our attitude is a conditioned one.
In moments like this the realization that deep down we have more in common than we care to acknowledge at first glance is one of the most profound and delightful realizations one can have.
The other is you and you are the other, it’s just the package that is different. Or as Ram Dass used to say: “Are you in there? I’m in here.”
I have been on the receiving end of countless acts of generosity and hospitality during my decades of travels across Asia. Returning this kindness to the future generation is important so I have decided to donate 20% of all proceeds from primary and secondary sales to the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, an organization I have been involved with for 25 years. www.cncf.org
