Mom (I am)

Mom corresponds to the moment of the burial ritual, which I processed through the representation of my mother’s garment in an enclosed and protected symbolic space. The spray paint along the edges traces a frame enriched by the use of gold. The boards, barely visible in other works, take the form of actual paper strips sealing their content. The undergarment, colored with pink crayon and acrylic, is now crossed by charcoal marks: to me, this represents the awareness of uncertainty. Like paper, this material is highly perishable and, at the same time, it is the result of the physical process of body cremation.
