ABSTRACT

Paint pulls me into the present and into a state where everything feels connected. I like the corporality of paint and the way it can be moved, its plasticity and its colors. Perhaps, in the world of the imagination, where all is possible, feeling more aligned with my water and earth astrological sign (Scorpio) may help explain my love of movement, particularly dance and poetry-making. In this essay, I attempt to concretize through the telling of my thoughts and actions how and why, perhaps, I grew into the person I believe I am today.
