A Yi Elder of Butuo photography framed by softly flowing cloudCaptured at a market in Butuo County, Liangshan, this portrait features an elderly Yi woman dressed in traditional ethnic clothing that has accompanied her through decades of change. Seated among the bustle of the marketplace, she carries the quiet dignity and resilience of a generation deeply connected to the mountains. For many elders in Liangshan, traditional dress is more than clothingit is a living expression of identity, memory, and belonging.
