EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, a Siberian shaman, identified as Ganya, holds a massive wooden fishing hook in the palm of his hand against the backdrop of a frozen riverbank in the Polar Circle, Siberia, Russia. The Selkup indigenous minority shaman, dressed in traditional clothing, is known for his role as a healer, sorcerer, wizard, and foreteller within his community. This hand-crafted giant wooden fishing hook, a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage, is used for catching burbot and pike, both of which grow to impressive sizes in these frigid waters. The intricately carved and meticulously crafted hook, with its striking design and raw power, serves as a symbol of the deep connection between the people and the land they inhabit. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the natural world and the spiritual realm intertwine, and the shaman's role as a bridge between the two is essential. This powerful and evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and the deep respect for nature that have shaped the lives of the indigenous peoples of Siberia for generations.
