Bound for Ravelo, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

Three members of a Quecha family await the departure of their truck for Ravelo, where they will be loading the baskets now piled on the floor behind them with supplies and foodstuffs. I interpret the scene by framing a mother with two children standing just within the door of that truck. The children snack on treats, while the mother nervously peers out at the chaotic terminal from the relative quiet of the truck. This image is rich in interpretive detail – the anxiety of the mother is evident, contrasting to the anticipation of her children. One other interpretive cultural comment can be drawn from this image – these trucks are driven constantly, yet the board walls inside of them, while showing some water stains, are absolutely clean. If this truck had seen duty in the US, its boards would have been covered in graffiti.
