Where Earth Meets Flesh: Ancestral Echoes
I am the wound and the earth that heals it.
They took me from Cuba when I was a child, but they couldn’t take the land from my bones. I carve my shape into the earth like a prayer, like a curse. My art is not made—it’s remembered. I speak with the dead, with the soil, with the women who vanish and leave only outlines. If you want to find me, look where the red runs into the ground.
What I'm Into: silhouettes in the dirt, Afro-Caribbean chants, the weight of absence, mud and tempera, rituals that do not forgive
