MARGINALIA
2025
A research-based project exploring cartography as a relational system that constructs meaning across territory, water, and ecological systems. Moving beyond its function as an instrument of orientation, mapping is approached as a dynamic process shaped by power, memory, and environmental transformation.
Developed through fieldwork in the Sacred Valley of the Andes, the work traces altitudinal shifts along the Urubamba River, engaging with plant matter, mineral salts, and river water as active agents in the formation of the image.
Through eco-printing processes, botanical and geological elements are embedded directly into the paper, allowing natural forces to inscribe the work. These cartographies remain open and provisional, reflecting the fluid boundaries of living systems.
