The images are part of the communal reflection of everyone related to El Mozote. I regard the art created upon El Mozote as a documentary. Within the metaphoric discourse of images and colors, we hope to make available and public the vulnerability and strength caused by the effect of the sorrows which stain our lives. Parallel to that, they claim a ferocious desire to live transformed into an urgency of creativity. This effort of gentleness beyond the actuality of hell must not be regarded as romanticism.
Creativity is, in fact, a subversive act.
Governments that attempt to control people with unjust laws firstly persecute artists, poets, writers, and thinkers. The spirit of artists will always remain uncompromising. Freedom is the seed of creation. Any attempt to mitigate that freedom will damage not only the artist but also the whole society and the cultural structure of history. The role of art in society expands from the creation of the artifact, fact of art, to the reception of the work within community, creating a new paradigm furthering the comprehension of the human condition.
