Part of their shoot consisted of responding to the jeering throng.{{r|i-D powerful}} Aida Muluneh, the photographer who presented the award, described Waiswa's photography as reflecting her surroundings' complexities.{{r|OA Rencontres award}} While Sarah Moroz of i-D praised the clarity with which Waiswa presented the isolation of albino identity, as the model's lighthearted accessories defied an insurmountable air of rejection,{{r|i-D powerful}} Sean O'Hagan of The Guardian considered the otherwise "brave" effort "oddly overstaged".{{r|Guardian Arles 2016}} Waiswa's work explores what she calls a "New African Identity": how younger generations of Africans feel more expressive and less restrained by tradition than their predecessors.
