No me sirve un amor que no se grite cuando hay tantas cosas por decirle a este mundo deteriorado.
No quiero un amor que le tenga miedo al nombre cuando las ideas no dichas me queman la garganta.
Quiero un amor que cante, que acaricie, que baile que pinte, que se deje ser explícito y se derrame en palabras.
Quiero un amor sin miedo al otro, sin miedo al pasado sin miedo a lo desconocido.
Quiero amar como me amo a mi mismo, porque llegar a ver con tanta nobleza y admiración mi reflejo no merece ser puesto en duda por nadie.
Quiero abrazar sin motivo, señalar lo bello sin pena, cuidar y ser cuidado.
No quiero dudar que soy amado.

I’m not ready to go back.
I’m having a hard time figuring out where I should give in and what my non-negotiables are.
Expressing myself about whatever makes me feel deeply is a non-negotiable. I can learn better ways to listen and to talk but I cannot prefer silence. Communication is the key.
Emotions, from anger to fear to love are all valid, We shouldn’t hide them but try to learn from them. We should allow ourselves to feel them and then understand how to process them better.
The moment I stop feeling and expressing, my work will be back to dullness, my head will be back to a place where it is okay to denny and ignore. I am proud of the person I have become, I’m not willing to hide.

I had to face panic in order to gently put myself back as a priority.
Right now I am talking to myself deeper than ever before but also spoiling my soul like the child inside me needs to.
The journey to connect with what’s inside me, behind the masks and above the fears, is a journey that I must take alone, one in which I must remove the responsibility from others to understand how to love myself better avoiding hidden interests, facing my fears and going step by step.
I am a knight who walks on a quiet mission and a naked being who stops and listen the silence of their own traumas.

‘Last year I spent several months living a in near-isolation, no work, administrative limbo with an uncertain immigration status and having not enough money or the right documents to change that.
My body was in Ireland the whole time, but my documents belonged to somewhere else. I wasn’t a good match for the systems around me.
During that time, I found myself doing what I later recognised as something close to a monastic practice: l spent weeks alone, in silence, searching within my own mind… but I was also talking to chatbots for hours because I was avoiding people. I watched tarot readings on instagram because the algorithm had already read that I was looking for a symbolic language and I returned, reluctantly, to Catholic imagery, not because I believe, but because that architecture was built into me before I could refuse it.
I discovered in the process that my spiritual searching was being mediated by machine behaviour: pattern recognition, classification, access to infinite unverified contradictory data, and yet no system was sufficient’…

What happens when belief becomes data, when ancient spiritual questions encounter contemporary technological structures? How identity and spirituality are mediated by technological systems?

They are testing our patience and the are wining.
Today more than ever, art must serve the people.
Art must serve the community.
Art must serve the union of ideas.

Thirteen weeks ago I stepped away from a place I once called home. Since then, the way I trust, love and prioritise myself has quietly shifted.
My work has always been a journal. A bunch of notes to my future self that has now new important entries: We don’t return to patterns that ask us to shrink. We choose reciprocity, clarity and basic care. We don’t try to change people or accept emotionally unavailable partners. We don’t let others blame us for their unhealed wounds and We don’t believe in their criteria to put us down and mistreat us.
I don’t know where I’ll live next month or who I’ll be standing with in New Year’s Eve. My heart is broken and my energy thin. But I still have myself, and that’s all that matters.I’m rebuilding my life now. I’m rethinking how I spend my time, how I work, and how I carry my own weight.
We can choose our boundaries and the company we keep. May we protect our dignity, our voice and our safe places.

In recent months I have discovered a space within my visual work to expand my journaling practice and my mindfulness processes.
I cannot, as much as I sometimes want to, keep important ideas in my head, they always find a way to turn into letters, paintings and sounds.
Today I want to remind myself that having a complex soul is not a difficulty (I AM NOT STRANGE) having a complicated relationship with my head is a gift, one that I want to honor and nourish with good conversations, good habits, good beings and sweet intentions.
