The photographic essay of Earth removed, tells the story from a trip to the place inhabited three generations ago, coming from the inheritance of the land from the great-grandparents, which removes certain experiences that also happened to my relatives in the past, beginning to explore the forgotten memories and their presence, together with linked images of the reconstruction of the space when building.
Accepting the land entails accepting its history and the context from which it comes, returning judgments -of class, race, gender, among others- still derived from colonial practices towards our origins. While the act of removing the earth brings up that part of the inheritance of feelings through the generations, to uncover links that continue to influence us as individuals through the investigation of one's own roots and ancestry, and reflect on what it means to rebuild from a family system in transformation.
