Pacha (2019) marks
the artist's first exploration of her family's history. It began when she
discovered an old album with objects, pictures and letters from the family
history at her grandmother’s house, sparking conversations with family members
and leading her to research and reconstruct her family tree as a form of
empowerment. The installation consists of 11 lines of book pages. All content
written on the pages were erased by the artist, using the soil of her homeland.
Then, she embroidered on each page with golden thread, marking the names of her
ancestors, wherein the original printed text of the books is erased using soil
from her homeland. Voices sing 15 names of the artist’s family members, filling
the space with a tribute to her lineage.
