Golden Fractures

his work investigates the wounds not inflicted by the world, but by our own thoughts and words. The violence we whisper to ourselves often cuts the deepest—yet within that same voice lies the power to heal.

The performance took place live at the Museo de Pirotecnia Tultepec, in front of an audience. Over thirty raw minutes, the artist became both wound and healer. Black paint, poured directly onto the body, embodied the cruelty of self-inflicted words. With hands, feet, and every movement pressed against the canvas, those words were carved into its surface. Later, gold poured over the darkness—an act of tenderness, a reclamation of strength.

The space filled with layered whispers: the inner voices that break us and the ones that lift us. The monumental 4 x 5 meter canvas remains as a silent witness—a scarred, golden skin that holds the memory of pain, resistance, and rebirth.
