Manos de Memoria /
Hands of Memory
This series blends lino-inspired linework with vivid, graphic colour to explore the hand as a symbol of resilience, witness, and transformation. Each palm carries a face, an eye, a bloom — evoking presence, protest, and renewal.
Barbed wire encircles the wrists, but the hands remain open, upright, alive. Echoing South American iconography, these prints speak to resistance rooted in care — where memory flowers even in harsh ground.
These are not just hands; they are testaments. They hold the land, the past, and the power to shape what comes next.
La Mano Que Ve / The Hand That Sees A raised hand with a single eye and solemn features, caught between cactus spines and barbed wire. This piece speaks of watchfulness—of bearing witness even under pressure. The eye does not blink.
Lengua Viva / Living Tongue A bold red mouth framed by the thorns of history. This hand does not strike—it speaks. This piece celebrates voice as survival, a tribute to culture, protest, and identity carried in language.
Flor en la Herida / Flower in the Wound A cactus hand rises, pierced by spines and bound by barbed wire, yet offers a blooming flower. Beauty persists. Life insists. The image honours resilience and the quiet power of regeneration.
Ojos del Pueblo / Eyes of the People Multiple eyes, unflinching, embedded in a single form. The hand becomes a vessel of collective seeing—a chorus of perspectives shaped by memory, resistance, and belonging.
Mano Testigo / Witness Hand A final salute. This hand stands not in surrender, but in truth. With eye, bloom, and barbed wire, it becomes a living archive—bearing pain, holding beauty, and remembering everything.
