This project is about the continuous wait in which peasants victims of violence live since the peace agreements between the Colombian government and the FARC was signed in 2016. They are two installations based on the landscape of Marquetalia, FARC's birthplace. They are passable scenery where the long night represents the dark past of the armed conflict and the continuous dawn symbolizes the endless wait in which the peasants live.

​

Both installations emerge from my interest in know the current condition of the place where the FARC was born. I traveled to Marquetalia during 2018’s second half. The village is located in south of Tolima, in the Gaitania district. To get there from Planadas I must cross mountains with uncovered roads for approximately 10 hours by jeep and horseback. That experience let me to understand the difficulty that Marquetalia’s inhabitants live repeating the same route to market their agricultural products or access health and education services. During the travel I stayed at the Las Brisas or La Base farm, where there are trenches and tunnels built since 1964. There lives a couple of teenagers who decided to live in the countryside, firmly believing that there they could forge a better future for their two children. When speaking with them, I realized that their lives have had positive changes since the Agreement was signed; however, they consider that this rebirth has been slowed down by the lack of interest of the Colombian State, which has hindered economic development and Social of your region.
