As I waited in the town’s central square for the rest of our group to assemble for its homeward journey, an indigenous Yampura woman bends forward in front of me in order to tie her baby to her back. She, too, is on her way home from the Sunday market, only her trip here was not about buying souvenirs or making photographs. Her people host this market, and for the Yampura, the market and all that comes with it, is a way of life itself. In making this image, I concentrated on her facial expression to create my interpretation. As she bends and strains to lash her child to her back, the light reflecting off the plaza concrete makes her face glow with a mother’s love.
