In the Lake Chad region, where the land awaits rain like a promise of life, thousands of people live suspended between flight and hope. Before the Rains recounts the faces and silences of those forced to leave everything behind to survive the threat of Boko Haram.

Through his visual and anthropological sensibility, Alec Von Bargen captures moments of profound humanity, where fragility transforms into resistance. His images do not seek sensationalism, but invite an intimate listening: to the stories that the world often forgets, yet which continue to speak with the strength of dignity.

This collection testifies to art's ability to bridge pain and hope, between the individual and the universal.
