Felipe Lettersten is a sculptor forging statues of native peoples who may one day be no more. He searches the Americas for indigenous tribes that have so far held on to their traditional costume and culture. But those tribes are dwindling, surviving only in the most remote regions. Over the years, Felipe has traveled great distances to find them. Felipe creates his statues, not for sale, but for tribute. They are monuments he hopes to exhibit throughout the Americas and Europe.
