Photography has been a part of our lives.

It can take us back to the past and relive the moment

It can also help identify ourselves through tracing our roots. It can preserve our culture and link the present to the past.

 

The photograph captures an Ifugao woman wearing  a hand-woven skirts with colorful stripes. 

The weaving pattern describes the culture and temperament of the wearer’s tribe.

The greater the color combinations and more elaborate the design, the higher the status back then.

It signified personality, story and pride.
