Embarking on my inaugural journey to Africa in 2018, I was captivated by Abidjan, the bustling economic capital of Ivory Coast and the most populous French-speaking city in West Africa. This vibrant metropolis, celebrated as the cultural crossroads of the region, seamlessly blends industrialization with rich traditions. Its streets echo with a dynamic fusion of languages and rhythms, reflecting a unique tapestry of heritage and modernity. From towering skyscrapers to bustling markets and lively music scenes, Abidjan's allure lies in its ability to harmoniously balance urbanization while preserving its rich cultural identity, making it a captivating subject for my photo gallery.
