3 men after friday prayers
Three men leave the mosque on Île de Gorée after the Friday prayer, the most important weekly gathering for Muslims. As they walk out, they pause to discuss aspects of faith and community life, continuing a dialogue that often extends beyond the prayer hall. Behind them, the shoreline and the open sea form the natural backdrop of the island, highlighting the everyday intersection between religious practice and the coastal environment of Senegal.
