Life before the fire
This project springs from absence: a woman who exists only in the form of fire.
María appears only once in history, in the record of her trial, condemned as a witch and burned at the stake. There is no voice; only the words of the men who decided her fate. She survives as a name written on paper, a life reduced to that version of herself.
By working with charcoal, absence becomes a place to inhabit. Not to fill the silence, but to sit beside it and allow it to speak in its own way.
