_The Curse of Huitaca_ _(Work in Progress)._ Inspired by Muisca cosmology, this piece reinterprets the transformation of Chía into Huitaca as a narrative of feminine defiance and resistance. It explores the tension between imposed order and embodied freedom, reclaiming myth as a space for rewriting silenced histories.

The Curse of Huitaca

In this painting, the artist depicts herself pregnant, seated on the earth and surrounded by the warmth of a glowing sun. The figure represents a moment of transformation—after generations of inherited pain and the search for love in the wrong places, a new form of love emerges. The pregnancy symbolizes hope, renewal, and the possibility of breaking generational cycles. Through motherhood, the artist discovers gratitude, healing, and the freedom to create a different future.

A New Love 

Seated with sadness, phone in hand, while I play on the floor—she learns my father chose another.

My Mother's Heartbreak

A child left behind as her mother rides away; this piece marks the origin of generational loss. It reflects the inherited imprint of abandonment and the ways in which unresolved trauma travels across lineage.
