In this series, Coca turns to the Mongolian spot,
a birthmark common among Indigenous and Asian
communities and long stigmatized in Peru. Magnified
on canvas, the mark shifts from a sign used to
categorize and discriminate into a landscape where
identity, ancestry, and vulnerability are made
visible. Through color and scale, Coca transforms
the spot into a terrain of recognition—one that
reconnects the skin with erased genealogies and
reframes what was once a source of prejudice as
a site of pride, tenderness, and embodied memory.
