The Paths of Tears

The Paths of Tears is an elegy to grief and memory, a spiritual journey through the Andean landscape, where death is not an end but a passage through which the past continues to inhabit and shape the present. Tears carve paths toward the mountains, where ancestors merge with Mother Earth and become the guardians of memory.

Personal sorrow weaves into the collective, and loss is felt not only as absence, but as a form of reunion through ritual and remembrance. Grief doesn’t resolve. It settles into an inner landscape, one that keeps shifting under the weight of remembrance, time, and all that quietly remains.
