Ornella Marchese

Moises is a Waorani man who left his community at a young age to engage in activism in defense of his territory. In this image, he wears a seed on a necklace close to his chest—something he carries as protection and memory of his origin. He has traveled the world with it, carrying it as a living link to land, ancestry, and struggle across distance and displacement. Home is not a fixed place, but something that is carried, defended, and kept alive through the body.
