We seem to have entered an era of simulacra, in which reality is produced and enacted upon command. The fictions we construct begin to replace the world we once knew. What becomes of the reality left behind? and is return still possible?

A collective practice of imagination that works with historical photographic archives alongside AI-generated and contemporary images of Indigenous communities. The project unfolds through shared interpretation and chance, treating the archive as a space in motion, where images remain open, responsive, and unfinished.

Examines the brick as a fragment of perception and identity in the Colombian urban landscape. In many neighborhoods, the shift from improvised materials to brick marks a passage toward permanence, belonging, and social ascent. By isolating the unit, the project reflects how space, and the sense of having a place in the world, is built piece by piece.

Between departure and return, belonging becomes a subtle negotiation of memory and presence.
It is held in the spaces rebuilt each time, in the accents we keep, and in the ones we lose.

In an image-saturated world, truth becomes unstable. Evidencia · Verdad · Decepción reflects on how images function as evidence, how they shape belief, and how easily they slip into manipulation and deception.

Fullness has become a condition rather than an exception. Cities expand, objects accumulate, and lived space grows dense to the point of saturation. This project stages a full and an empty structure to observe how accumulation reshapes daily life, and to question what remains real when space is no longer available to withdraw from.

This project brings together images from different sources and contexts. By altering their order, size, and presentation, it explores how interpretation changes through comparison and proximity.

This project began as my final MA collection and gradually expanded into a broader exploration of fictional, theatrical worlds. Over time, I began to recognize a psychological connection to my observations of my mother’s life—her struggles and her need to become a kind of superwoman within a patriarchal world.
