The 1970s in Colombia were a tumultuous decade, marked by widespread social unrest and a significant rise in violence, with intimidation coming from both guerrilla groups and state-affiliated actors. Amid this tense climate, a journalist and editor of an agricultural magazine becomes entangled in the death of the Minister of Agriculture at the time. What begins with torture ultimately leads to his exile and a long separation from his family.

This is the origin of "Cuevas de Sacromonte", a project named after a torture place on the outskirts of Bogotá, that tells the complex story of the relationship between an absent father and his daughter. A story in which absence opens a rift that grows over more than 15 years, and the replacement of characters becomes more powerful and meaningful than reality itself.

In this entire story, the harshness of the Colombian armed conflict is not only deeply rooted, but the photographer, the journalist’s daughter, also turns to Puig-Sierra’s Oyster metaphor. She does so not only to expand her own narrative, but also to give voice to and engage in dialogue with numerous individuals who, through a rift, break open and expand both life and the image itself.
