In Echoes of Self, Yzaura unearths ancestral memory through taste, touch and confession. Dulce de coco wrappers, simmering sofrito, a wounded record circling remorse. As she opens her lineage, something begins to stir in the room. Through food and grief, memory flickers. The mind strains to hold what time is trying to erase. Sound gathers like wind beneath the words, building breath into rhythm until poetry becomes invocation. What unfolds is a living act of remembrance, intimate, visceral and stirring long after the final echo fades.
