Memorias de una ausencia

Abstract

This project revolves around a series of concerns that arise from the need to find answers to the way in which the experiences I lived in childhood left an indelible mark on my construction as a person. Therefore, there has been a constant interest in preserving a link with objects that have an affective charge, which have enabled me to locate the memories of my memory and thus reconstruct what I lived. These objects function as a transporter portal in time, allowing me to lead to different places in the past where events took place, to understand what happened and thus to immortalize what I do not want to forget. In this way, my need is sustained in that search to honor the fragile and ephemeral that comes from the anguish and perplexity that unleashes the absence, which in this case, is related to the abandonment by the father figure; consequently, it had a significant impact on my emotional and relational behavior. In the course of this search I have been able to understand the construction of memory as a present reality; that is to say, not only as a reference to what has already happened, but also as a reference to the meaning it acquires through artistic practice.
