¿What is memory? Memory is our refuge, which shelters the keys of our identity, the alphabet with which our history is written. In a rough, flurried present, of forced subjugation, of wear or loss of external referents, we have the obligation of preserving the internal referents: of searching, finding recovering ourselves. The best way is rescuing our essence.

Gloria Carrasco has found in ceramics a language not too far from her initial training as an architect, but which allows her to explore space in another way, a more intimate and personal way. In this exhibit, sculpture continues that search, but is now joined by a presence that acts both as objective and guide: memory.

Through colors, textures and titles that refer to time, to silence and to a necessary and constant interior dialogue, she invites us to join her in that permanent search but, above all, to initiate our own internal journey. With her work, Gloria Carrasco shows us that memory inhabits each one of us.
