Essa obra é a releitura de um desenho que fiz em 2018, depois de meu pai falecer. Ela se revelou após uma consulta com a sañadora Flor Medrano, indígena Maya, em um ritual de ayahuasca com Yaká Huni Kuin. Fiz essa pintura como um unguento, uma pussanga, para tirar de dentro de mim as dores. As que senti naquele momento e as que venho sentindo. Tenho artrite desde adolescente e no meio dessas pinturas estava em crise. Sigo tentando fazer com que as dores passem por mim, conversem comigo, saiam de mim e se transformem em outras coisas. “Coração da terra” é também uma ode a senhora de todas as cabeças, minha mãe água-serpente de transmutação. Oferenda de comunicação entre o céu e a terra. Feita para agradecer pela vida e pela oportunidade de estar aqui.

[This work is a rereading of a drawing I made in 2018, after the death of my father. The work revealed itself after I had a consultation with sanãdora (healer) Flor Medrano, a Mayan indigenous person, in an ayahuasca ritual with Yaká Huni Kuin. I made the painting as an ointment, a spell, to remove the pain from inside myself. The pain I felt at that moment and the pain I’ve felt since. I have had arthritis since I was a teenager and I was going through a crisis while I was producing these paintings. I am still trying to make the pain pass through me, talk to me, flow out of me and turn into something else. Earthen Heart is also an ode to the lady of all heads, my mother in spirit, serpent-water in transmutation. It is an offering of communication between the sky and the earth, created to give thanks to life and the opportunity to be here.]
