'El Suelo En Duelo' is a series of visual works that outline resistance tactics against colonialism in the context of the United State’s occupation of Puerto Rico. Sand proposes a strategic retaliation and a rupture between the legible and illegible.
Using sand as her weapon of choice, Mariana articulates relationships between legibility as a condition of colonialism, play as a tactic for resistance, and how these strategies construct the experience and perceptions of the colonial subject and landscape.
