StatsMaravilla Triptych
This drawing, made after a meticulous investigation of the murders of Carlos Enrique Soto Arriví and Arnaldo Darío Rosado Torres that occurred at Cerro Maravilla in 1978, is the product of a process of drawing and erasing based on never before published photos of the event. These images were exhibited for the first time along with another drawing by the artist cal led Nuestra Señora de Mameyes, about the 1985 dramatic landslide caused by the rains of 1985 in the Mameyes neighborhood of Ponce, where 130 people died. Both instances of mourning are part of a collective memory that draws us. This relationship between Mameyes and Cerro Maravilla haunts us from the detail of the drawing, the closeness of state violence to nature
