Jaime Miranda-Bambarén exhumes the truncated roots of plundered trees in the Peruvian highlands. These are centennial eucalyptus, planted in viceregal times, razed by our degrading "modernity".
By transforming such remains into Seeds, Miranda-Bambarén affirms, to be sure, an ecological claim. But above all, he projects a metaphysical vision, a resurrectional act: to grant those desecrated remnants a symbolic dignity.
And to transfigure those fields of sown death into breathless, but almost breathing images of life.
