EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "20086907" we are transported to the enchanting world of Colombia's Choco Embera Indigenous People. The image captures two young Embera daughters, immersed in a sacred ritual as they paint their bodies with black dye extracted from the indedible Jagua fruit. This intricate body decoration is an essential part of their preparation for a curing ceremony, deeply rooted in their ancestral traditions. The vibrant colors and patterns adorning these young girls' skin reflect not only their cultural heritage but also the rich diversity found within the Pacific coastal region tribe. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment where tradition seamlessly blends with modernity. Their mother, seen feverish yet determined in the background, guides her daughters through this ancient practice passed down through generations. It is evident that she plays an integral role in preserving and nurturing their cultural identity. This powerful photograph by Brian Moser encapsulates the resilience and beauty of these indigenous women who proudly carry on age-old customs amidst changing times. Their unripe youth symbolizes both innocence and potential as they grow into strong women capable of shaping their community's future. Through his lens, Moser invites us to appreciate the profound connection between humans and nature while shedding light on Colombia's diverse ethnic groups and vibrant festivals celebrated throughout South America.
