A photographic backdrop installation. “In Fervor, seeds, flowers, and spices from the Ecuadorian Andes are reimagined within a geometric composition designed as a site of transformation. The backdrop draws conceptual inspiration from chicha fermentation, framing this traditional process as a metaphor for cultivating belonging, grounding oneself, and resisting the systemic alienation of our time and space. Here, the visual landscape becomes an active domain of self-determination for diasporic communities.
