About the artwork:
El despertar del bípedo agraciado o '¡Sálvese pues!'⁠ (The awakening of the graced biped or 'Save yourself alright!') –
‘‘Is there anything older than the idea of dominance?’ Humans ask themselves. Always distracted by history; confused; anthropocentric; locked in the skin and body of people. Remember that what is taken by force, can be shared in harmony, built in love, or even left to be.’

Part of the Telúrico series –
(Telluric) Of or relating to the earth.

What is housed in a rock? Through the cutting of a stone it is possible to look at a story as old as the planet. The stones, witnesses of time, of life itself, recount in their materiality, in the cracks, colors, mineral formations, shapes and textures, a synthesis of this place we inhabit and to which we belong.

The native peoples, throughout history and the globe, have maintained a search for earthly unity, for understanding this place and those who inhabit it, as part of the same system. This photographic series is situated in the mineral testimony as a metaphor for ancestral values.

Rocks, like the ancestral wisdom of indigenous peoples, are the result of a very long history, and their existence in the bustle of the present is essentially resistance.

In recognition of this wisdom and the symbolic contribution it implies for this work, a percentage of sales will go to the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Populations of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Materials used:

Hahnemühle cotton paper, matte protective varnish, box frame.
