DORALVIS. San Rafael De Mucuhíes, Venezuelan Andes.

Working on this project  has been a journey of self-discovery that has given me focus as a human being and as a photographer. Through these portraits I seek to reveal their notion of the world surrounding them and how it may differ from ours.

At the heart of this project lies my desire to convey and preserve their supreme value as human beings and to transmit what they have shared with me: Their dignity, their strength, their laughter, their wisdom and their beauty; for these are the basic, the unspoiled, the forgotten, almost invisible heroes living in silence, they are my Anonymous Americans at La Otra América.
