I heard that there was a woman who hated metaphors, but accidentally wrote them throughout her stories.
The negative consequences of progress are increasingly visible on the outside of the body, but they are also subliminally chaotic on the inside of each of us.
My piece, which manifests as a visual metaphor, is an invitation to reflect on the duality between the connection to the land with which we have a history and wanting to hide it from ourselves for all the inherent suffering.
It is urgent to confront our heritages so that many of the millenary knowledge of recognition and respect for the land is not lost. In addition to accepting the past, it is important to be aware that our present will be someone’s future. And that this someone, even if we do not want to do it now, will discover our gestures. What do we want to leave covered?
