A religious shrine, a wrought iron gate, a huge satellite dish, and a grid of overhead electrical wiring, provide a metaphor for a contemporary version of Bolivian Pearly Gates. At least that’s how I intended to interpret this incongruous juxtaposition awaiting us as we entered the town of Yotala, about 20 miles from Sucre. By metering on the bright spot in the cloud, I am able to throw the image into silhouette. The only color left in it comes from the shards of blue sky visible behind the massive cloud. All of the incongruous elements are abstracted by the backlighting, allowing the viewer’s imagination to roam the image at will.
