Wise Eyes: Skillful Hands in Guna Yala
Captured in action, this photograph features one of my favorite subjects from Guna Yala. Previously, I've shared similar images under the title "Wise Guna Eyes," but this scene offers a broader context. Here, a Guna woman demonstrates her impressive skill at filleting fish. Swift and precise with a sharp knife, her speed is astonishing. Though presented in black and white, the image is equally captivating in color. Fascinatingly, despite her advanced age, she actively preserves the skills that define us as humans and continues to contribute to Guna society. Her complete attire while carrying out this task is truly remarkable – a blend of traditional Guna clothing and the essence of her everyday life. This sight is indeed a must-see to believe.
