get thee to....
the nunnery.
santa catalina in arequipa peru.
hundreds of years old - a town within a town - where wealthy families would give their second oldest daughter for service to the church as a way of gaining favor with god. The wealthier nuns would even have a servant who lived in a small room off their quarters. I suppose it is better than sacrificing a goat...
This is a bathtub. It is filled with ivy to cover the nuns while they bathed.
The portraits on the wall were death portraits of nuns after they died.
