White Light

White light and a windy spirit made the magic around this gaucho girl, at la Peña Blanca. BIOPHILIA is working on a development project with the Gaucho community of Coronel Arias, one of the oldest of Argentina that originally formed as a rebel guerrilla during the independence war (1810-16).
