PUERTO GAITÁN

In the midst of the Colombian plains, sits the Wacoyo indigenous reservation where the Sikuani community lives, masters of the ancient craft of wood carvings. According to their beliefs, only when the moon is waning can they cut mature trees, of which they can carve up to 30 medium-sized pieces that are then painted with a mixture of bark and ash. The symbology embodied in their craftwork tells traditional stories of the community and represents the nature that surrounds them.
