Wayuu: Ancestral Traces in Sand

This photographic project documents the Wayuu people of the Guajira Peninsula, one of the few Indigenous nations in the Americas that resisted Spanish colonial domination and maintained territorial, cultural, and political autonomy from the 15th century onward. Through a sequence of ten images, the project explores Wayuu history, ritual life, and daily survival in a desert environment shaped by memory, resistance, and continuity.
