Turba es una instalación de acuarela de 425 × 136 cm concebida como un libro expandido. La imagen de una planta carnívora, ampliada hasta convertirse en territorio, funciona como figura de migración y adaptación dentro de un ecosistema específico. A través del gesto de plegar y desplegar — activado también mediante video — la obra encarna procesos de desplazamiento y reconfiguración donde la vida y la muerte no aparecen como opuestos, sino como parte de un mismo ciclo vital en el que la fragilidad es una condición de la persistencia.

This project emerged from a conversation woven across distance between two places: Montreal and Mompox. Both are islands, surrounded by river waters, lived as home. On one side, Leticia Gutiérrez Veleño (Orfebrería Leanjo) and her family, bearers of a profound legacy of inherited craft and Momposino materiality in goldsmithing; on the other, the island I inhabit.
