The island of Java sits upon the Ring of Fire, a line of active volcanoes that stretches across the entire archipelago. This image was from my @natgeo story, #VolcanoGods, a deep anthropologic project I did related to spiritual connections of volcanoes and their mystical importance throughout Indonesian society. Join me for a deeper immersion into a visual journey across our globe over on my #Instagram page where I highlight cultures, issues, wrapped around the astonishing landscape at the ground beneath of feet.
