At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

— T.S. Eliot

Stardust | Polvo de estrellas

Isadora Romero

Photography

In Mascarilla, located in the Chota Valley, Ecuador, the landscape is rocky, lunar, galactic. The dust forms weightless hurricanes that carry whispers, and timeless tales.

Grandmothers have told these stories since the time this place was known as the blood and death valley; since the time their forefathers arrived across the seas from the distant Africa. Tales that explain the secrets of the world, of love and death; tales that spread fear and tell hidden traditions.

Women are the ones that almost anonymously keep the town afloat. They beget the stars and preserve them. At night, the stellar spheres hide and float. If someone sees them, he will lose his human shape forever. He will become the dust from which we are all part; he will become stardust.
