Historical Moments,Totems,  and Wholesome Apparitions 

The unexpected and the opposite, the reversal of history. A child of misterios  origins, a baptism  in reverse. political intrigue and social experiment forced by greed. Modernity and alchemy. The word. Images confronting past and present without equilibrium or order. A fragment of land in a sea of stories deep in blood and sweet.  Not all is what it seems. Some come from faraway to witness the transmutation of gold into tears, of  man into mule, of   persecution into glory, religion into weapon.  The assault of the skin transformed into music, carnaval of multicolored flowers, naked bodies and covered faces. A sanctified world of never ending purifying rituals celebrating beautiful mutts of unique beauty and historical  pedigree.
