Natural beauty. Peru. The Virgin Mary in her various manifestations. Community spirit. Rainbows. Affection. Four seasons in one day. Close to the heavens. Rough and primitive. Catholic. Unprejudiced and sympathetic. Black clouds. Dinner around a grave. Ecuador. Family. Rituals. Dozens of different climates. Mountain ranges. Pitch-black clouds. Blistering sun. A rendezvous with South America is a rendezvous with God, with man and with nature.

More than a housewife: the heart of the household and head of the family. Catholic and superstitious. Modest though she is, she radiates mother nature’s primal strength as serenely as an angel. She laughs a lot and is always surrounded by children. Not so much a thinker as a doer. Rooted in the fertile soil whose fruits she picks and prepares with gratitude. Equally at home slaughtering a chicken or creating a healing herbal mixture. The knitter at home far off in the high mountains. Where together with her mother, daughter and friends she pours her whole heart and soul into creating Inti clothing.

This country is so different, these people are so different. They live and work in the highland. Much closer to the sky than we are. In colourful surroundings. The ponchos they wear show that who lives amongst colour is colourful.
