Había Suelo Aqui Antes

A visit to Iquitos after my father's passing.

This ongoing project emerges from the passing of my father and the search for connection that followed. Returning to Lima, I revisited my family and the places my father once inhabited—spaces marked by his presence, memory, and absence.

In a dream, I was led to Iquitos, a place unfamiliar to both of us. Through this encounter with nature and community, I found solace in the time that was spent with others. A different form of conversation with my father. The work seeks to honor these conversations: between the living and the departed, between memory and geography, between the personal and the ancestral.
