Walking on Melted Weapons

Doris Salcedo’s Fragmentos turns weapons surrendered by the FARC into a metal floor created with the participation of women who experienced sexual violence during Colombia’s conflict. Instead of building another heroic monument above us, Salcedo places history beneath our feet. I find that reversal powerful. A monument usually asks us to look up. This one changes the ground we stand on.
