Ramón Ibarra
a mining camp in the Atacama Desert, Chile
Having worked as a farrier in a secluded mining camp high in the Atacama Desert, Ramón Ibarra's life has been tightly knotted with the clanging of shoeing hammer against anvil and the dry whispers of parched winds. His heart beats with every flutter of tarpaulins, and he remains the unyielding guard of creatures and men reliant on steady steps down dangerous ravines. As night cloaks the camp in chilly silence, he finds himself analyzing the invisible tremors of life's fragility, crafting songs in the eerie solitude.
