Wild Strawberries
Personal memory by Maria Quispe
1993 • Lake Titicaca, Peru
“The wild strawberries she saw in Urubamba. Up until 16 years ago she cultivated them. She used to plant little pears, but not anymore. Frogs, toads in streams, there were a lot. At 5PM the toads would start to sing, but not anymore.”
