Xingu Shaman Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

This photo is a rare jewel in my XINGU collection. Dating back to 1985, it holds within itself the flame of a unique experience I had while spending forty days immersed in the "Yuwalapity" indigenous tribe, hidden in the pulsating heart of the Forest. Ah, but make no mistake, getting there is no easy task! You need a special authorization from the Federal Government, granted by FUNAI - Fundação Nacional do Índio. And in this deep dive into indigenous culture, my existence found a home in ancestral traditions, experiencing each moment as a sacred encounter. There, I shared meals, slept and lived in an immersive way with these fascinating people. Through this image frozen in time, we open the doors to a universe of unexplored stories, it is an invitation for our hearts to open before the grandeur of the ancestral wisdom that permeates the still virgin forest. And in the delicate dance between light and shadow, my camera became a sacred instrument, and each click is a reverence to the beauty and resilience of these people! May this image tell its own story, echoing in every heart that contemplates it, and may it be a call to reflection on the urgency of preserving, respecting and honoring the cultural roots that sustain our humanity. Therefore, my dear collector, allow yourself to get lost in these enchanted lands of the Xingu. Let yourself be enveloped by the magic that flows from the union between ancestry and the present, and understand, in all its grandeur, the importance of valuing and protecting the cultural riches that shape our universal identity.
