Antigua is a busy tourist hub in the Guatemalan Highlands, not far from the capital Guatemala City. Walking through the labyrinth of cobbled streets, it is quite common to come across vendors selling wares, weavings, and trinkets. I noticed an elderly Mayan woman, dressed in traditional attire, resting on a small flight of stairs with her goods for sale on her lap. The contrast of the dark, wooden door behind her with her colorful clothing and rugged appearance was striking. Antigua, Guatemala, November 2023.
