A wooden column of chocolate molinillos, a forest. The domestic ritual that sustained a continent, now load-bearing, precarious, growing like trees, sustaining everything above it the way extraction does. 

One molinillo is a kitchen object. A column of them becomes something else. The repetition changes the register, what was intimate becomes structural, what was familiar starts to feel like pressure. The body reads it before the mind does: something is holding something up. 

The repetition is key. A column of them accumulates into pressure, architectural, precarious, growing upward the way a tree grows, or the way an extractive system does: by making itself indispensable. The ritual that sustained households across a continent is now holding something up.
