Recognition
Origen is a personal long-term project that aims to address the stories of sexual abuse and violence in my maternal lineage, myself included.
As women, we have experienced the abusive power of our patriarchal societies, having been silenced, mistreated, oppressed, and murdered.
The project was born as an internal healing journey through current images and past memories seeking to regain control of our bodies, souls, and stories.
The discussion with the women of my family has made me relate with them on a new level, meanwhile, I discover how my pregnancy and becoming a mother have urged me to heal and stop this unwanted heritage we have suffered from our past generations.
