Abadzekh (Circassian) woman, Dzybova Janserey, photographed on her 21st birthday in the 1920s. A striking image of grace and quiet strength — captured during a time when Circassian communities were still reeling from the aftermath of exile, genocide, and forced diaspora.
Janserey belonged to the Abadzekh tribe, one of the major Circassian subgroups, known for their proud traditions, resilience, and deeply rooted cultural codes. This portrait is more than just a moment — it’s a testimony to the endurance of a people, and the quiet defiance of a young woman standing in the shadow of history, yet facing forward.
