Artwork Description

The Exposed Root Votes of Uprooting Between Two Shores. To be out of place is to live in the parenthesis of a body that no longer knows to which land it belongs. This installation is a testament to that fracture: plaster legs that act as containers of an absence, white prostheses that attempt to support the weight of one who has lost their center. Uprooting is not emptiness, it is a stubborn search. That is why, from the hardness of the plaster, branches emerge, like nerves reaching outwards seeking a nutrient they no longer find in the soil. They are aerial roots, desperate, trying to cling to the invisible. At the foot of this structure, the ritual is completed with a constellation of offerings: Paper votives: Love letters that never arrived, because the recipient is a landscape that no longer exists. Photographs and stars: Fragments of light that serve as a guide when the map of the earth has been erased. Poetry of the precarious: Small works that act as knots, joining the loose threads between the two seas that inhabit us. This work is an open letter to belonging. It is the recognition that, when we are uprooted from a place, the body becomes our only territory and memory the only root capable of surviving the elements.
