Tierra- Documentary Photography

Documentary Photography Series, 35mm film and digital photography

"Tierra" explores the relationships among humans and animals, and the meaning of life and death on a family farm in the Peruvian Amazon. The cattle ranch and family farm is located in the Palcazú district of Peru and has served as a home away from my adopted home in the United States over the last 20 years. My immediate and extended family have close ties to the space, as my mother spends more time at the farm to take care of my grandmother and help with managing the farm. I document everyday life on the farm and river nearby, which continue to provide sustenance and sanctuary to the space and its inhabitants.
