The breath of the guardians
Copyright Andrés Yépez 2024
Updated May 2023
The struggle of the indigenous peoples and nationalities of the Ecuadorian Amazon for the conservation of their territories remains alive as long as their relationship with nature remains strong. This ongoing project portrays the people who are part of collective processes in defense of their territories and their spiritual connection with nature, which gives meaning to their struggle and makes them a single living body with their rivers and jungles. It is a symbolic mapping that attempts to represent the intimate relationship of the people and the territories they defend from extractivism and pollution.
