KUMANO KODO
by
MARI LUZ VIDAL
KUMANO KODO IS AN ANCIENT PILGRIMAGE ROAD LOCATED DEEP IN THE JAPANESE MOUNTAINS SOUTH OF THE KII PENINSULA. IT CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF SACRED ROUTES THAT PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE SHINTO NATURE. THE WHOLE EXHIBITION IS A REPRESENTATION OF MY OWN WAY, MY OWN LIFE. THE EFFORT, SACRIFICE AND OVERCOMING THROUGH MY OWN STRENGTH, MY OWN FEET. DAYS TO WALK AND CROSS THE MOUNTAINS IN ABSOLUTE SOLITUDE AND TRANQUILITY.KUMANO KODO IS A DEEP PLACE, A PLACE TO WELCOME AND CLOTHE ALL THE CHAPTERS OF YOUR LIFE WALKING WITH YOU.
