Mi Patria: Ecuador

A collection of photographs capturing Ecuador's diverse natural and cultural beauty. The country's rich history and biodiversity continue to grow despite multiple geopolitical challenges. From the Galapagos wildlife, the Cotopaxi volcanic landscape, and Amazonian rivers, Pachamama grows stronger in an era of deforestation and climate change. And Otavalo and Cuenca's artisan villages preserve the indigenous heritage that endured colonialism. As an Ecuadorian immigrant, these pieces evoke a strong sense of pride in my motherland and the people, culture, and nature that make it diverse.
