The Colombian landscape has been known worldwide for the majesty of its mountains and splendorous biodiversity. Indeed, having the opportunity to grow Colombia, surrounded by its diversity, gives people the privilege of contemplating and taking in the sublimity of the power of nature; however, when performing the act of observation, a closer look at the panorama takes hold and gives a deeper understanding of what occurs within that dense green and blue which from a distance seems to swallow every living organism.
Being there, reflecting on the stories brewed from the forgotten communities inhabiting that Colombian landscape, brought with it a state of awareness about the indifference that has permeated the beauty of its land; hunger, violence and corruption are flagella that have been normalized through its constant repetition in which their significance and value vanish into the landscape.
