tribe vibe.


I love mostly everything that has a tribal sort of atmosphere. I think it's my partialness to magic realism because there's something about the Native Americans, or African tribes that just seems completely fantastical, like it's all part of another world.
I think what makes the idea of native tribes so alluring are the images that the mind conjures up of colourful tribal make-up, elaborate headdresses and traditional native clothing. Not only that but I tend to associate tribes with spirituality, and not in a religious sense of the word.




These photos above are by Hans Silvester (can't find an official website). They're amazing.
