Every time I'm in Ecuador, something in me shifts. Standing at the top of the TeleferiQo, 13,000 feet above Quito, I feel it even now... that quiet pull this place has on me. It's not just the views. It's something underneath them. 🇪🇨

Did you know that each piece of art needs to be broken before it can be transformed into something unique? 🪵✨
Welcome to Casa de Arte Talleres — in San Antonio de Ibarra, Ecuador. The woodcarving capital of Ecuador. Where ancient hands have been bringing saints to life for over five hundred years.
Hernán Garcia has been doing this since he was twelve years old. He showed us how he carves, how he makes the eyes from melted glass on windless nights, and how his wife Magaly lays 24 karat gold leaf using the oils from her own face.
This workshop stopped me in my tracks. And it connected me to my grandfather in a way I didn't expect. 🇪🇨🙏
