At the World Indigenous Games 2015 in Brazil, I used long shutter speed to paint the indigenous ancient rhythm. The resulting soft images connect us to our roots, to old drawings in caves dating back to prehistoric times. But, the hazy imagery is also a metaphor for the fact that indigenous people are fading. Everywhere, so-called 'civilization' is closing in on them. Their land is being taken, their rights trampled, their way of life destroyed and they are captured and killed. They are the only humans left on earth who live like our ancestors thousands of years ago. Living off the land, leaving no footprint, in harmony with their environment and with respect to all living things. And they are being annihilated. I feel that this is one of the most shameful injustices of our times. Future history books will judge the fact that we stood by and did nothing.
