A China Photography Story, Documenting Portraits from the Ethnic Groups in Yunnan. From Shanghai Photographer Marco Jacobs
63 Year old Yuna is part of the Yunuo tribe. Feeling feverish she stuffs leaves through giant piercings in her ears which they believe have medicinal powers. Ironically you never see them wear earrings, if it's not the leaves they have in their ears all you see are big loops from piercings that had been stretched over years.
