The cosmic vision of the Andean world is a cultural heritage and tradition that, despite attempts to eradicate it, adapted and persisted through oral tradition as a collective awareness of our material, physical, and spiritual environment. The pursuit of mysteries such as the meaning of life and death are topics that have troubled humanity for a long time, so the body has been a fundamental tool in channeling or containing these quests.
Based on this concept, working on this artistic proposal through bodily language is to internalize and externalize factors implicit in the landscape, such as climate, time, and ritual, since remaining in contact with a body other than mine with its own autonomy that chronologically marks a lapse with its flow, which seeps and filters without measure dissolving me into a fragment of that great vastness, which frames an image of a territorial and social context; it is a mechanism for understanding the identity values and religious constructs of this geographic space.
The essence of the Andes is to give a kamac (spirit) to everything that surrounds us, and this is why speaking with plants, animals, water, air, earth, and fire is a naturally habitual practice for these societies; in such a way that this work presents those relationships of reverie, surrealism, and body-to-body dialogue that listens, advises, and consoles.
