Dejandolo Todo Atras (Leaving it All Behind)

Amaru May locates geometric abstraction within the material lineage of traditional Latin American craft. Weaving precise triangular and diamond motifs from cotton and linen thread, she constructs a dense optical field where cool blues and greens vibrate against warm peach borders. This rhythmic structure draws directly from the architectural forms she encountered in Guatemala and Argentina, utilizing the warp and weft to physically negotiate cultural memory. Through this slow, tactile construction, May grounds abstract questions of identity and belonging in a tangible reality, anchoring her internal landscape within a rigorous, heritage-driven framework.
