I’ve followed Guo during a four day visit to Sunan, her hometown. We’ve visited the city, some stores and her family. Guo is a Yugur Girl, this means that she is an heir of an ancient culture, one of the 56 ethnic groups that live in the inmense country of China. She is also a young woman in a globalized world. This portrait shows her inocence and her beauty as a human being. The love and respect that she feels for her culture and mainly the way in which someone from the other part of the world can start being a part of her life.

The Yugur Traditional Dress works as an excuse to show the real topic of this work: her life, her spirit and her passion.
