In a small school kitchen in Kibera, Nairobi, a mother prepares food using firewood and basic equipment. While she works, her young daughter spends the day by her side, playing, waiting and observing the world around her.
This series follows the journey of cooking from the smoke-filled kitchen to the students who gather at the window to receive their lunch. Along the way, it tells a story of family and the everyday effort behind a daily meal that, for many of them, is the only food of the day.
Elena Rimashevskaja is a Switzerland-based photographer with an interest in documentary storytelling, travel, landscapes and creative photographic techniques. Her work explores a wide range of subjects, from everyday life and human stories to natural environments and experimental approaches to image-making.
