In "Cucha" series Laura C. Vela photographed this project in a small village in Andalusia. Cucha is an informal way of saying "listen" in this region, which is something the townspeople said to Laura when she walked among them. This series explores the special energy and tempo of the rural world, not through specific topics, but through the “vibe” or ambience experienced by the body.
