This piece traces the journeys of Peruvians who fled the economic crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, often migrating without legal status in search of a future. Interweaving their stories with found footage of fireworks—sourced from videos filmed in the cities and years of their departures—the work parallels moments of celebration with the rupture of migration. The fleeting brilliance of the fireworks embodies both hope and loss, illuminating the resilience and sacrifices of those who rebuilt their lives far from home. Through this contrast, the piece transforms personal stories into a shared memory of displacement and survival.
