A constant presence is framed by ancestral attributes rooted in culture and tradition, a myth seen as a protective entity and at the same time as a devastating entity. The project presents the tensions between the Galeras volcano and the inhabitants of the city of San Juan de Pasto; The volcano has been active since the first Spanish records in 1600 but despite this, its inhabitants refuse to evacuate; presenting a clash of glances between those who say that the volcano threatens to destroy the city and those who consider it a protector that would never harm them. A volcano with many shapes to be seen.
