Tierra Guajira

This kills me. This series of photos are of wall-hangings from the Cerrejon corporate office on-site at the world's largest open-pit coal mine. Two feature portraits of indigenous Wayuu women (this picture featuring face paint worn in a ritual dance our delegation was fortunate enough to see). Two feature pictures of the earth-moving machines that serve to displace, poison & starve Wayuu communities.
