entranas vacias

The earth, exhausted, gives back mud and darkness. Here, labor does not extract wealth: it sustains absence. Cerro Rico of Potosí, exploited since the 16th century by the Spanish colony, fueled empires with silver extracted through forced Indigenous labor and enslavement. Millions of lives upheld its wealth. Today, after centuries of plunder, the mountain collapses: a hollowed body that still demands labor and leaves poverty behind.
