Whirling Folk Skirt in Maracaibo Prayer Hall

by Sandra Price

Streaks of crimson and gold fabric blur into a spinning cylinder inside the high-ceilinged prayer hall of Maracaibo. Reflected light from nearby water washes the stone floor in a damp silver glow, highlighting the humid air that hangs heavy after the recent rain. Deep shadows recede into the distance where rows of empty arches fade into the twilight gloom. The blurred motion creates a ghostly ring of color that contrasts with the stillness of the ancient columns standing solid along the periphery. A shadow of a dancer's foot anchors the spinning fabric to the wet ground.
