CI.CA.TRIZ is a studio project for an installation and audiovisual research that explores reconnection with the body, memory, and Afro-descendant identity. Starting from the question of what shape invisible scars take, Brianda Carreras investigates trauma, heritage, pain, and care. The artist focuses on Dominican "Afrotainidad"—an often invisibilized identity—and on anger as a generative force.Through cultural symbols such as Atabey and Las Muñecas sin Rostro (Faceless Dolls), the work explores the theme of salt as an ambivalent element: a source of both purification and suffering. Salt becomes a symbol of forced migrations, Afro-descendant history, and collective memory. In this initial phase, the installation unfolds as an interweaving of images, props, sounds, and words, inviting reflection on scars not only as marks of healing, but also as political and narrative spaces. CI.CA.TRIZ is an act of care that oscillates between wound and healing, and between personal memory and collective history.
