Our feet, swept and struck by … sand
language of no use, … was
the limits of speech, faced … us
Signs and gestures replaced … words
life was defined then, by … play
… by water
Sand and desert.
Faces, signs and babble
An unstable dialect of images.
Kids of Punta
Las Dunas de Taroa, La Guajira, Colombia
The Guajira peninsula is the northernmost point of the South American continent and home of the Wayuu people. This series captures a moment in Las Dunas de Taroa, where the desert sand dunes meet the sea. I got to play with some Wayuu kids. As neither of us spoke the other's language, we communicated through play, gestures and feelings.
