Nos mIran / They gaze upon us
Nos mIran / They gaze upon us. I am interested in portraying Tumaco’s youth who lives between two worlds: the rural Colombian pacific coast and the eclecticism of the globalized world. Young people who, like their own geography, grow like metaphors of adversity where precariousness coexist together with beauty and hope. This photograph is part of the series Nos miran (They gaze upon us). This is Aimer Prado, a young empirical urban dancer and nursing student who lives in the Nuevo Milenio neighborhood in Tumaco, Colombia. The country's most violent municipality as a consequence of drug trafficking and the dissident groups of the demobilized FARC guerrilla.
