Gripping Photos Capture a Young Family of Mine Workers in Bolivia
For Potosi’s Little Guards, photographer Jonas Wresch intimately documents the lives of Maxima and her children Yoddy, Paul, and Israel, a family with whom he came into contact through the German NGO Kindernothilfe. In the wake of the father’s young death in a mining accident, Maxima works an estimated 168 hours per week guarding the mines of Cerro Rico. Throughout her broken nights, she keeps safe the mining equipment and watches for potential thieves.
