“THE TRANSITION FROM DICTATORSHIP TO DEMOCRACY CORRESPONDS TO THE IMAGE THAT DISAPPEARS IN THE PRINTMAKING PROCESSES (ETCHING) AND THEN REAPPEARS (PRINTED ON THE PAPER). MY WORK CALLS TO THE NEED FOR A SEARCH FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH, WHICH BY NO MEANS IS FINITE OR TERMINAL, BUT RATHER AN INITIATIVE THAT EXISTS IN AND WITH TIME."

”Memory and Landscape: Unveiling the Historical Truths of Chile” is a book about the disappearance and murder of people in Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Human rights violations are represented in the book through etching techniques and the print act in itself by building an alternative visual medium to indicate the injustices committed in between 1973-1990.
