Possess

I really like the photography. One photo can make you feel some different things, can make you imagine, remember and learn. Also, are photographs that are amazing because their colors or the scenes that they are showing.

Today, I will talk about one of my favorite’s photos. It was taken by my best friend mom, when they were together traveling around Perú. It was in 2009, at the time they were in Cuzco, the mythical city of the Incas. It was in a cloudy day.

The image shows my friend, Pía, inside of an ancient building, made of stones and with straw roof. She is in the front of a window, and the green landscape of the mountains with the clouds above it, is behind her. You can see clearly the luminous window frame and the roof over it, the mountains and the roofs of two other buildings behind Pía, but you can’t recognize her face: she looks like a woman shadow with long hair, holding a bag with one of her hands and looking at the camera. She is anyone, with the immensity behind.

I love this photo for different reasons. Because I love Pía, and in many months we can’t met: I remembered better her looking at his photo. Also, it is so beautiful, and the first time I saw this image, I remembered a quote that I really like, and that I remembered every time I see this picture: “Maybe the prison possess her, but she possess the liberty”.

If you look carefully, you can see that Pía is smiling.
