The Selvando installation, as well as the various series of drawings included in this project, correspond to the exercise of a kind of mourning that happened over a period of many years, as I witnessed how the riverbanks of the Meta River (located in the Colombia's eastern planes) became large areas of rice crops and livestock breeding. Many drawings, made at different times and places, came together in a far-reaching project that I like to think as a form of mourning.
