Short story

The Selvando installation, along with the various series of drawings included in this project, represents a prolonged exercise in mourning. Over the years, I witnessed the transformation of the Meta riverbanks near Puerto López in Colombia's eastern plains into extensive areas of rice fields and livestock farms. These drawings, created at different times and places, have coalesced into a comprehensive project that I consider a profound expression of grief
