EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the daily life of an Igorote woman from the Cordillera region of the Philippines. The woman is depicted carrying two water pots on her back, expertly balanced as she also cradles a baby in her arms. This image speaks volumes about the strength and resilience of the Igorot people, who have a rich history and cultural heritage.
The Igorot tribe, known for their practice of headhunting in the past, are shown here going about their daily tasks with grace and determination. The mountainous backdrop adds to the sense of rugged beauty and isolation that characterizes this remote region.
As we gaze at this scene frozen in time from the 1930s, we can't help but marvel at how this woman effortlessly carries out her responsibilities while caring for her child. It serves as a reminder of the incredible balancing act that women around the world perform every day as they juggle multiple roles and responsibilities.
This print is not just a historical document; it is a testament to the strength and resilience of women everywhere. It reminds us to appreciate all that they do, often without recognition or praise.
