"She doesn't say a word. But just by looking at her you feel as if she has spoken. Her body tells stories: it is covered with cuts, holes, ritual scars, filed down teeth. All marks and signs going back through the years to a time when the Grande Piste was nothing more than a track, and you could make your clothes out of bark from the trees..."Luis Devin,
