About this artwork
Two black speckled figures carefully hold two smaller beings, untouched by the surrounding black ink stain. Adriana Ciudad explains the series as follows: “[This series references] the Peruvian oil industry, which was responsible for the spill of three thousand barrels of oil, in the Marañón River – a key Amazon tributary. Taking measures to repair the damage, the company Petroperu offered individuals in the affected areas 20 soles (around 5 dollars) for each bucket of oil they collected and removed from the river. As a consequence, dozens of children set out to collect buckets of oil, putting their lives at risk.”
