This is one of my largest personal projects, inspired by the emotions and sensations I experienced during a particular period of my life. I created illustrations based on both negative and positive emotions and experimented with them. I developed a digital product, designed a webpage, and worked on several physical projects that are still in progress.

Al principio no podía dejar de pensar en cuál era la causa de lo que estaba pasando. Quería escuchar claramente cuál era la razón de ese dolor y qué secreto quería contarme, pero cuando intentaba poner más atención, solo escuchaba susurros y voces lejanas, como cuando era pequeña y estaba jugando concentradísima en mi cuarto, y mi mamá me gritaba desde la cocina que bajara a comer. ¡Pobre! Nunca la escuchaba y tenía que subir con su cara de resignación a decirme
—Oye, te estoy llamando hace media hora.
—Perdón, no te había escuchado...
Así me sentía, no lograba oír nada, solo voces lejanas en mi cabeza, como: “Igual podría pasarle a cualquiera…”, o “Creo que era lo mejor para mí…”, “Sabía que iba a pasar algún día…” Pero durante el día, el dolor seguía gritando y no me permitía escuchar lo que venía después de esas frases.
Sentía culpa, miedo, tristeza, ira, soledad.
Luego vino el silencio.
La oportunidad llegó, pero llegó con la responsabilidad de hacerme cargo de mis habilidades. Podía escuchar claramente la causa secreta del dolor; me hablaba tan claro… Tenía que dejar de culpar al tiempo por ser tan corto y a las tareas por ser largas; tenía que enfrentar la infinita incertidumbre de pensar que podía fallar de nuevo. El secreto del dolor se había revelado, y tenía ganas de tropezar de nuevo si era necesario, porque el único que no tropieza es el que se queda sentado. Quería intentarlo sin excusas, con determinación. Esta obra es el resultado de esa oportunidad y de todo el trabajo que conlleva: conceptualizar, crear y exponer todos estos sentimientos en forma de piezas ilustradas. Cada pieza carga un mensaje muy profundo, y cada detalle ha sido cuidadosamente curado y escogido para darle respeto y devoción a esa oportunidad de confiar en mí y en lo que soy capaz de crear.
Quizás aquí usted pueda mover sus piezas para también encontrar su propia causa secreta.
At first, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the cause of what was happening was. I wanted to hear clearly what the reason for that pain was and what secret it was trying to tell me, but when I tried to focus more, all I could hear were whispers and distant voices, like when I was little and I was playing so focused in my room, and my mom would yell from the kitchen for me to come down and eat. Poor thing! I never heard her, and she had to come upstairs with a resigned look on her face to tell me:
—Hey, I’ve been calling you for half an hour.
—Sorry, I didn’t hear you...
That’s how I felt; I couldn’t hear anything, only distant voices in my head like: “It was what I wanted anyway...,” or “I think it was the best thing for me...” “I knew this was going to happen someday…” But during the day, the pain kept shouting, not letting me hear what came after those phrases.
I felt guilt, fear, sadness, anger, loneliness. Then came the silence.
The opportunity arrived, but it came with the responsibility of taking charge of my abilities. I could hear the secret cause of the pain clearly; it spoke to me so plainly… I had to stop blaming time for being too short and tasks for being too long; I had to face the infinite uncertainty of thinking that I might fail again. The secret of the pain had been revealed, and I was willing to stumble again if necessary because the only one who doesn’t stumble is the one who stays seated. I wanted to try without excuses, with determination. This work is the result of that opportunity and all the work involved in conceptualizing, creating, and exposing all these feelings in the form of illustrated pieces. Each piece carries a very deep message, and every detail has been carefully curated and chosen to give respect and devotion to that opportunity to trust in myself and in what I am capable of creating.
Perhaps here, you can move your pieces to also find your own secret cause.
