Víctor Mamani
a ferry landing town on Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
Víctor Mamani, 44, works tirelessly hoisting old, forgotten vehicles and boat remnants onto ferries on Lake Titicaca. His nights are spent inscribing a solitary word into his journal, reflecting the day's emotional tension like 'tensión' or 'espera'. Living between the rhythmic tides of the lake and the humdrum of mechanical work, Víctor's life oscillates between steady reliability and the fear of unexpected disruption.
