We are Relocating
Bogotá, Colombia · Visual Work · 2019
This series documents forced displacement in the Brasilia neighborhood of Bosa during the expansion of Guayacanes Avenue. It reflects on leaving home behind, on the emotional value attached to domestic space, and on the uncertainty faced by families with few resources. What remains in view are the objects, traces, and ruins of lives that were compelled to move elsewhere.
01 / 10
The essay opens from the edge of the intervention. Rather than framing relocation as a distant urban process, the images stay close to what is left behind: walls, objects, improvised thresholds, and the fragile order of domestic life under pressure.

As the sequence moves inward, the photographs hold onto the emotional value of ordinary interiors. The work is less about spectacle than about the quiet violence of interruption: the moment when a house stops being a stable frame for everyday life.

What remains visible are traces rather than portraits. Debris, surfaces, and small leftovers become evidence of a forced transition that is both spatial and deeply personal. The series insists on the value of those minor fragments.

What remains after moving
The last image keeps the essay grounded in the unresolved condition of displacement. What appears here is not a complete ending, but the lingering material evidence of lives pushed to continue elsewhere.
