What is housed in a rock? Through the cutting of a stone it is possible to look at a story as old as the planet. The stones, witnesses of time, of life itself, recount in their materiality, in the cracks, colors, mineral formations, shapes and textures, a synthesis of this place we inhabit and to which we belong.

The native peoples, throughout history and the globe, have maintained a search for earthly unity, for understanding this place and those who inhabit it, as part of the same system. This photographic series is situated in the mineral testimony as a metaphor for ancestral values.

Rocks, like the ancestral wisdom of indigenous peoples, are the result of a very long history, and their existence in the bustle of the present is essentially resistance.

El cosmos intangible o 'Eso que te prende es invisible' (The intangible cosmos or 'That which turns you on is invisible'):
‘Stubborn that who puts a price on time, the outbursts of the spirit and stardust. That what is most valuable cannot be priced. That what cannot be touched is what is kept forever in the soul. That memory is not made of what the senses grasp.’

El incomparable privilegio de la hermandad terrícola o 'Respeta a tu madre, es mi madre también'⁠ (The incomparable privilege of the earthling siblinghood or 'Respect your mother, she is my mother too'):
‘Who earthling if not the flower that was born on the sidewalk, challenging the asphalt to stand immense although small, or the clouds that cover the traffic, or the hills that contemplate the sea, the birds, the insects, the dogs and the plants . The cacti. The water that runs although bottled, which in its path wets to the driest. Blessed the earthlings.’

El retorno del metahumano o 'Usted es un animal; actúe acorde'⁠ (The return of the metahuman or 'You are an animal; act accordingly'):
‘Oh, humans! Believing that reason and language frees you from instinct. Building machines to understand, do and undo. Not catching the wind because they can't. Oh humans! So self-absorbed, so forgetful. Hearing but not listening, and letting the world’s singing pass them by. Oh humans! So animal and so unaware of how beautiful that is.’

El despertar del bípedo agraciado o '¡Sálvese pues!'⁠ (The awakening of the graced biped or 'Save yourself alright!'):
‘‘Is there anything older than the idea of dominance?’ Humans ask themselves. Always distracted by history; confused; anthropocentric; locked in the skin and body of people. Remember that what is taken by force, can be shared in harmony, built in love, or even left to be.’
