A tough environment where a relaxed-easy going talking between two female individuals takes place. In actual life, those figures are not able to get together in the same room either because they are thousands of miles apart or because one of them is no longer alive. Thus, I represent them as spirits, using paint light techniques.

I tend not to believe in the ethereal, anyhow, I like the idea of having someone else that can be an inspiration alongside mine in my mind when I feel like I’m in a rough situation, just as I’ve been feeling recently, as I moved from my country of origin to Miami. Being an immigrant in the US makes me miss intimate hugs, having honest talks, and experiencing leisure and pleasure with my people. I am in a rough place. It is a different language. I had been playing new documents to keep up. I have been finding a way to make a living. While I am working on getting used to it and building connections, I wonder how it would be if I were with my people in this toughness. I have a feeling that those one would be there for me whether we are or I’m in a tough moment of life or thriving or just in a moment of joy.

Spirits going through

All those people that I’m thinking about are women. That’s why I want to evoke female individuals to get together.

Using the paint light technique, I emulate female spirits getting together when they are experiencing different feelings, like having hard times, represented by an ugly/dirty/destroyed environment, such as an abandoned and useless room. Likewise, I intend to show pleasant moments of those spirits, for instance, hanging out or just standing next to the sea.
