Iosefa Tufele
a concrete block house in American Samoa
By day, Iosefa deals cards with steady hands and an unwavering gaze, in a pocket of the world where the Pacific Ocean laps quietly at the sand. By night, the solitude of the hills whispers secrets from the snapping flag that pricks his conscience and unsettles his soul. His life's anchors are routines and precise counts in a world that too often shifts with the breeze.
