This photograph, titled Yesterday, marks the beginning of the Yanomami Series. Our attentive eyes cannot help but turn toward the fate of this ancestral people, whose stories echo in our collective consciousness. The photograph sensitively captures the most emblematic icon of indigenous peoples: the headdress, traditionally made with feathers. However, in this piece, the artist skillfully opts for a unique approach, creating a headdress with delicate Amazon lily flowers, meticulously intertwined with hand-spun raw cotton.

​

The lush leaves and flowers of the Amazon lily evoke Yesterday, representing a people endowed with vigor, resilience, and the unwavering ability to withstand social adversities. The various shades of blue used in the composition bring forth the almost untouched purity of these people.

​

Additionally, the discreet messages inserted through digital intervention give the work a profound appeal to humanity, like a cry for help. Yesterday transcends mere portraiture and becomes a powerful testimony to our responsibility toward the Yanomami and all indigenous peoples, reminding us of the urgent need to protect and preserve their cultures and territories.
