MY ART SEEKS TO EXPRESS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN
I want to show that every life has a tremendous amount of joy, love, confusion, as well as pain and loss. I want to convey that all emotions - positive or negative - are a part of the human experience
BLOSSOMS
The tears watered my soul
Now, it is the place where flowers grow
Unpleasant feelings sometimes come and go
But fear is not holding me anymore.

BREATH
OUT
When we refer to love, we often think about someone else. We continually seek a partner that makes us feel loved, happy, and complete. Yet, many times, we are incapable of giving ourselves that love we are looking for in someone else. When we love ourselves, we make decisions based on our well-being, we pay attention to our dreams, healing, and emotional needs. Only then, we recognize that we don't need to be perfect and that we don't have to sacrifice parts of our identity for others to love us.

BLIND
TRUST
The mirror broke once.
A punch of disappointment,
shattered the glass
Tears, screams.
Yet, not a word.
He preferred to suffer alone.
Surprises, lies, pain.
It wasn’t what he had hoped.
It wasn’t true love.
He grabbed the pieces.
He bled.
He fixed it all.
Despite the pain.
Despite the blood.
He decided to go on.
Fear glued the glass,
but the mirror was opaque,
scratched and stained.
The mirror was never the same.

NOSTALGIA
I need you. I love you
I hate you. I miss you
I want you. I crave you
Why does it hurt having you close?
Can you give me some love?
Can you give me some warmth?
Can I trust you this time?
I don't want to be all alone
Please tell me lies
Please fake some love
I want to keep dreaming
I want to keep my eyes closed
Now I’m far.
I’m at peace.
I’m sad.
I want you here.
I can smile.
I’m not in tears
I just wish you were,
the love of my dreams.
Your arms were not warm enough
My heart was hardened and cold
I’m sorry my love
It was time for me to go

TONTO
The creature is stronger than his strings, but fear is his prison. He is used, he is undervalued, he is a joke. Poor tonto, he doesn’t understand that nobody can save him. He is the only one that can save himself.

LA LUCHA
The people have always found it necessary to speak out for their rights. The people get exhausted from being manipulated, waiting for unfulfilled promises, seeing injustice, and lack of empathy.
