The project "Unearthed Whispers" by artist Jude Baca delves into a narrative set approximately five thousand years ago, embracing a rustic yet sophisticated depiction of figures from an ancient civilization. The figures central to this story will be meticulously crafted from white porcelain clay, accentuated with elements of bronze and silver. These materials were chosen to emphasize a contrast of textures and colors, reflecting the elegance and style inherent in the civilization's artistry. Such a choice of materials not only enhances the visual appeal of the figures but also reflects the technological advancements and aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
The atmosphere intended for these figures is one of sophistication and familial warmth, evoking a sense of refined elegance and artistic expression within a societal framework deeply rooted in family values. The narrative aims to draw the viewer into a world where the artistry and intricacy of the period communicate a poignant and timeless connection to the past.

At the heart of the story lies a focus on women and a matrilineal society. This emphasis highlights the cultural and symbolic elements important to the civilization being portrayed. The society's structure, where lineage and inheritance are traced through the female line, underscores the respect and centrality of women in maintaining social continuity and cultural traditions. The narrative will, therefore, explore themes of lineage, heritage, and the vital roles women play in familial and societal constructs.

Through "Unearthed Whispers," audiences will find themselves transported to an ancient world where art and society are intricately linked, celebrating the enduring whispers of those who came before us.
