In Colombia, cacao represents more than a crop — it is a symbol of resilience, regeneration, and peace building in rural communities affected by conflict. My work explores cacao as both an ecological and social system, shaped by relationships between land, labor, and biodiversity.
Central to this story are the tiny pollinators that make cacao possible. Unlike many plants, cacao depends on small forest insects such as midges, whose survival relies on humid, healthy ecosystems. These often unseen pollinators reflect the delicate interdependence between humans and the natural world.
Through this intricately drafted piece of work, I consider how care, collaboration, and restoration exist across species and landscapes, reminding us that even the smallest forms of life sustain entire communities and futures.
