Aya is a book co-authored by Swiss photographer Jan Gross and Spanish female photographer Algie Escandon. Gross moved to Brazil to work on reforestation projects, spending time in the forest to cultivate his thoughts and working with local Brazilian people. Meanwhile, Escandon is a sensitive and somewhat spiritual photographer who has brought a mystical fantasy world into his photography from a social and psychological perspective. The collaboration between the two is a journey following the footsteps of Charles Clore, a pioneering 19th century photographer who is said to have disappeared in the Peruvian Amazon. "Aya" means ghost, soul, or spirit in Quichua, and uses both ancient vintage photographs and modern images to write two different dialogues: the historical expression of the Amazon and the personal sensory experience. It is a sensitive book that depicts spirits and souls that go beyond human consciousness and pass through various bodies, human, plant, and mystical.
