Inspired in the archeological vitrines of the National Museum where my mother had her office in Bogotá and where I spent many hours strolling the long corridors full of Pre-Columbian artifacts absorbing the history of Colombia in an intimate way; this piece expresses the synchretic cultural memory of the Columbus exchange. It evokes the small vessels and technique used by the indians to melt gold. The activity and form was later was taken on by the Afro-Colombian communities until today.
