ALTILIS

ENE - JUN 2024

A project developed with medicinal plants from the Peruvian Amazon and water from the Cumbaza River. Through botanical dyeing processes, the work preserves the plants’ original chromatic qualities, avoiding oxidation and the use of external mordants.

The resulting prints emerge directly from the vegetal matter itself, allowing plant pigments to define the image without chemical intervention.

Rooted in the healing practices of Amazonian communities, the project reflects on plant knowledge systems and their cultural significance within the territory.
