Venas Abiertas proposes a layered, immersive environment in which the viewer is invited to enter Anayansi Mozman Solano’s crafted reality and experience her dramatic photographs. Mozman sets the stage for a psychological play, featuring a cast of characters from her life,
to reflect on the emotional inheritance handed down from the impacts of colonization and white supremacy in Panamá, the country of her maternal family, and within the Central American region. In creating a womb-like set utilizing a feminine color palette of soft pinks and blushes, she references the generational impacts of a subjugated nation of women, including herself. The work highlights class structure, population
control, psychic inheritance, Mozman’s relationship with her mother, and her own role as a mother. Natural objects such as tree branches, leaves, and succulents, reference the impact of the exploitation of Latin America's resources throughout history.
