la sombra terrestre

Intro

in collaboration with Baxtiyor Akhmedov | Uzbekistan

Earth as body


Delcy Morelos works with soil, clay, plant fibers, and spices to create installations that explore the relationship between land, body, and spirit. Rooted in her Colombian heritage and shaped by Indigenous ways of knowing, her practice reflects on cycles of life, memory, and transformation.




An encounter with the earth


Her environments invite a slow, physical encounter with the earth, treating natural materials not as symbols, but as active presences. Morelos draws out the quiet power of these substances, creating spaces where human experience and the landscape are deeply intertwined. In her work, ancestral knowledge and contemporary life are held together, offering a way to think differently about the forces that sustain us.
