Estela: Video

This video consists of a voice over of me reciting poems that are also part of the Estela/Wake project, accompanied by images of my family that are relevant to its themes. These are interwoven with footage of the Kuwait oil fires from Werner Herzog’s documentary "Lessons of Darkness," which helps me reference the idea that Venezuela’s oil reserves are partly guilty for the issues that led people to leave. The poem explores guilt, suspicion, grief and uncertainty.
