SUNSETS CARAMELIZADOS

In her short film, Sunsets Caramelizados, Ciriza reveals the secret poetry that she and her abuela Aida Rodriguez shared. As she submerges jewelry and her hands into a tarry pot of boiling sugar she uses invocations, sculptural ritual and the abstract erotic in an attempt to reverse ancestral pain in her Cuban bloodlines and to open a passageway for her abuela’s earthly departure.
