Adoptee Reconstruction starts with the piece “Detachment” talking about a childhood impregnated by the separation from the biological family, which implies the lack of the vital-essential link, and the loss, which causes the lack of attachment to a main caregiver, taken in childhood as a source of comfort. Consequently, when facing the construction of “Detachment”, a piece incomplete on one of its sides is made, which allows us to see the inside of it as a presentation of the emotional void, treating the situation of the adopted child, who is forced to face abandonment and integration into a new family that, later on, will generate in him a new emotional bond.

It presents adolescence from the point of view of connection and the search for one’s own identity. Formally, this piece presents the union of two halves by means of suture, as the name of the work itself indicates, thus dealing with the duality faced by the adolescent who, on the one hand, begins to understand the feeling of emptiness caused by the loss of the biological family; and on the other hand, the emergence of the desire to find the rest of the missing pieces that shape him/her as an independent individual.
