Bolivia, Cultural Vernaculars - Photography Series

Digital Photography

It is said that at the dawn of the Incan empire, the conquerers arrived at the altiplano following legends of a lost civilization, what we now know as the culture of the Tiwanaku. Taken by their precision stone carving, preserved almost as it was at the time of its abandonment thanks to uniquely frigid and dry climactic conditions, the Incan pressed forward on a quest to refine the engineering marvel - laying stonework across a continent.
 
Cultural Vernaculars is an ongoing photographic documentation series, focusing on the material culture of modern day societies experiencing loss as a result of climate change, technologization, or percieved cultural irrelevance in the wake of modernity. It seeks to capture the essence of craft, the rootedness of art within landscape, and the dignity behind the many makers who bring art and story to life.
