During rainy season in The Gambia, the rainwater falls long and heavy, nourishing the flora before dying out again in the sweltering sub-saharan heat. This cycle repeats throughout the summer, mirrored by other cycles that gently punctuate time’s progression — graduations and other yearly ceremonies, meals, and daily gatherings — each a momentary marker of delicate human ecology intertwined with the evanescent pulse of each passing moment.
