Welcome to Puma’s house. In Quechua, two words come together to open a door for us. "Puma"—referring to Ms. Braulia Puma, who leads a community of weavers
in Chinchero. "Wasin" —the house. "Pumaqwasin"—Puma’s house.

As a photographic collection, "Pumaqwasin" explores how the act of weaving transforms a group of women into a community. It is about shared work, space, and memory. Weaving together is the ritual—a form of belonging passed down through time.
Community is defined not merely by the technique, but by the daily choice to come together in the same space. The house represents a daily decision—a place to return to.

These photos are an invitation to the house.
