This portrait is of an indigenous boy who caught my eye. He had been tearing up asking his mother for something. I caught the moment after he calmed down with my camera in this painting. It's culturally common for entire indigenous families to attend big community celebrations. I assume that it’s because otherwise the kids would be left alone if the entire communities are out. I took this at a Jahuay festival ( recreation of the January songs competition), in Cocán. I felt the little boy’s angst, he was probably bored and cold.
