In continuation of the Yanomami Series, this photograph is titled "Today." It follows the same approach and technique mentioned in the previous piece entitled "Yesterday." The same headdress, the same canvas; however, a crucial detail distinguishes this work. The artist deliberately allowed the leaves and flowers to dehydrate, creating a visual representation of the current situation of the Yanomami.
This photograph with digital interventions is a graphic portrait that mirrors a people afflicted by diseases, deforestation, hunger, and exploitation, a harsh reality that cannot be ignored. Through the beauty of photography, the artist seeks to convey the pain that the Yanomami experience daily. The vibrant colors of red and pink, along with striking black hues, engage our sensibilities, inviting us to confront the stark unfolding reality.
"Today" is a powerful appeal to collective consciousness, a message that becomes even clearer and more urgent. Through the strength of art, this work urges us not only to appreciate its aesthetics but also to reflect on the human suffering it represents, reminding us of our shared responsibility to create a more just and sustainable world.
The photograph is printed on CANSON PLATINE FINE ART 310 gsm paper. It comes with an artist's exclusive certificate of authenticity.
