"Historias Desenterradas" is inspired by the mysteries that live within and the frequencies, terrain and landscapes of my journey throughout North and South America.  

Unearthing the stories that live within and without 
North to South 
The mountains bespeak tales of glory
They shout for justice 
Their knees crumble and the ocean dances 
And then so should rise another sun 

What secrets live within her edges 
Sumptuous are the colours of her curves 
Her arms endow warmth and sanctuary
As the moon drips wisdom from her throat 
Painting eons of light for the sea

We listen to the song of our memories
In our bones
In our flesh
We listen to the history of nature
In our flesh
In our bones
North to South
Our veins emulate the tree branches
Our courage like the grace of condors wings 
If we fall
We fall together
To find we are made of earth
North to South
South to North
We find we are made of earth" 
-Rachel Helten ​
