About me
That I am?
Am I a pressure cooker? Or am I a substance in a pressure cooker? Sometimes I feel like I'm about to explode so what I do is release some steam to calm the pressure I feel like I'm suffocating.
If I turn off the flame, I feel like I will leave that passion and stop being me and if I don't turn it off uncontrollably I'm just going to destroy the pressure cooker sooner or later it's just that I feel like it's not the right time What's inside that pot? What kind of substance is capable of destroying that pot? What is that substance that gives that feeling of destroying everything it touches and why? I just have to feel it, taste it, smell it. What are your spices, vegetables, broth and bone It is a trip to the unconscious to the depths of my being My work is a study of what I am
​ My work is art therapy It is that steam outlet that prevents that explosion A little sigh That is why I decided to be an artist Is that release
It's a sublime journey
