This series taken in the countryside of Giron in southern Ecuador, seeks to capture the life and essence of the intimate and almost inaccessible Fiesta de los Toros de Giron. Every Sunday during the month of November,a rudimentary bullfight takes place. At the end of this bullfight the bull (or bulls) are sacrificed with the sole use of a knife. The sacrifice of the bulls is accompanied by allegorical masks, music, dances and votive offerings. Here religious tradition and pagan rites merge and merge, life and death dance arm in arm
