From 15,377km away

PRINT | PUBLICATION

My self-published book celebrates the artistic heritage of El Salvador and its people by showcasing handmade crafts and artefacts that exist within my home in Australia, lovingly and painstakingly brought from across 15,377km away from El Salvador since my parents immigrated in the early 90’s. Each piece is significant, especially since most are one of a kind made by hand by local artisans. A small but essential collection from my house to yours is now shared and explored through a 75-page photographic publication.
