EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Lappland in the early 20th century. The image takes us back to a Sami Camp, where traditional practices were carried out during Spring and Autumn. Located in Skansen, Stockholm, Sweden, this historical site preserves the essence of Sami culture. In the foreground stands a timber shed known as Njalla, serving as a storage space for essential supplies. Its sturdy construction reflects the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of the Sami people. Meanwhile, in the background looms a turf shelter called Torvkata - an architectural marvel made from layers of turf and birchbark. This ingenious design provided insulation against harsh weather conditions prevalent in Lappland. The photograph captures not just structures but also whispers stories of generations past; it transports viewers to simpler times when life revolved around nature's rhythms. The wooden house exudes warmth and authenticity while showcasing intricate wood carvings that are characteristic of Scandinavian artistry. Skansen serves as an open-air museum preserving Swedish traditions and offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in rural landscapes away from bustling cities. This particular image encapsulates both tradition and travel destinations within its frame. Mauricio Abreu's lens has skillfully captured this moment frozen in time – allowing us to appreciate the beauty of traditional architecture while honoring centuries-old customs passed down through generations.
