Embrace by women :: 2022 :: LIGHT EMBROIDERY :: SERIE DE 4 :: 60x40 CM :: PUEBLA, MEXICO
I would not have these eyes that contain seas and stars
I would not have air to sigh day by day
I would not have a voice for a happy song or to shout when others take away their singing
I would not have my legs and feet to walk many paths and know that I am from everywhere
I would not have my hands that I love so much, to contain, embrace and have this direct connection with my heart.
I would have nothing, nor would I be anything without her. She is my first goddess, the one who guided me to this world that I love so much. My fertile, warm land with music everywhere: my mom.
