Description
With “Nemonte”, the artist pays tribute to Nemonte Nenquimo, Waorani activist and a symbol of the fight for land, dignity, and the rights of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon.
Her direct gaze and proud posture become icons of courage and belonging.
Gold leaf, used as sacred light, evokes both the value of the forest and the nobility of the women who defend it.
A leader of the Waorani community, Nenquimo led the historic 2019 lawsuit that protected more than 500,000 acres of Amazon rainforest from oil drilling.
Her life embodies a timeless strength that of women who, despite global recognition, remain faithful to their roots and give back to their people
A portrait of resistance and gratitude.
An invitation to rediscover the beauty of those who choose to protect, rather than possess.
