In front of the endless expanse of a reflective salt lake - presumably the Salar de Uyuni - stands a woman in traditional Andean dress. Her skirt dances lightly in the wind, woven from a mosaic of indigenous patterns that flow across the earth like living narratives. On her head she wears a bowler hat from which lightning bolts shoot powerfully into the sky - a silent sign that she is connected to the elements, a mediator between earth and sky.
In her left hand she holds a few coca leaves - sacred goods and a connection to ancient knowledge. In her right hand is a clay carafe from which a luminous glow emanates, as if it were carrying liquid sun. Everything about her is reflected in the shiny floor beneath her feet, blurring her point of view between reality and vision.
The clouds above her are soft, the light clear, but her expression is serious - dignified and grounded. She is not a figure from a myth. She is the myth, brought to life in a time that had almost forgotten it.
"The Guardian of the Mirror Light" stands for balance: between tradition and transformation, between energy and ritual. Her existence is not loud, but full of power. She shows us that spirituality is sometimes very concretely grounded - and still generates lightning.
