EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by David Mercado, we are transported to the Chipaya community in Bolivia, where a cluster of huts stands proudly against the backdrop of an expansive open space. This indigenous ethnic group has established their first autonomous government within Bolivia, operating on pre-Columbian laws. The huts themselves exude a sense of tradition and folk culture, with their simple yet sturdy construction blending seamlessly into the natural environment. As the morning sun begins to rise, casting long shadows across the landscape, we can almost feel the crispness of the air and hear the gentle flow of water from a nearby river. The reflection of clouds in still waters adds an ethereal touch to this scene, reminding us that nature is both powerful and serene. With no people present in this image, it allows us to focus solely on these humble dwellings and appreciate their significance as symbols of resilience and cultural identity. David Mercado's skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation about our relationship with traditional ways of life amidst modernization. Through his lens, he brings attention to these indigenous people who have found harmony between human existence and nature's grandeur.
