“We want the documentary picture of the people and their homeland—a picture that will show the soul of the people.”

 -Edward S. Curtis

Ever changing, the unique expression of everyday existence shared among peoples and places, culture is a fascinating element of the world. American photographer Edward Curtis was able to document Native Americans during the early 1900’s, at a time when native culture was being further pushed out by the advancements of the 20th century. His photos are the inspiration of this work, by which I explore and experience a turning point of Native American culture, through the re-creation of Curtis’ photos in cardboard.
