This dual portrait reflects the living history of Southern Chile. Dressed in vintage costumes, this man and woman stand impassively before a monument to Fernando Magellan as they participate in a commemoration ceremony honoring the great explorer. They were but two of many local residents in the ceremony – I chose them as my subjects because I sensed how much this moment meant to them. They wear their costumes well, and their faces boldly emerge from the softly focused sculpture of Magellan’s ship behind them. I see a number of important human values represented within this image, including a sense of history, dignity, pride, and honesty.
