Pilgrims from the Northeast have the habit of buying images of characters in whom they identify exemplary behavior. By carving wood to shape these figures, the imaginary artists, artisans who make images of typical characters from the traditional Northeast, perpetuate a tradition that has changed over time. The ways of the traditional artist adapt to the demands of the tourism market and the dissociation between their conscience and the real meaning of the work to which they dedicate themselves.
