It doesn't matter how long you've been here. It will happen. Your face will float in this space, with many others, trying not to be devoured by whales or scammers, enduring pointing fingers, scrutinizing eyes, complacent or prickly comments... Doing everything possible to keep that creative magic alive. 

And many times, for a while, you will fail. The tongues and fingers and eyes, oftentimes your own, will overwhelm you and you'll cower in fear and self-doubt.

But eventually you will grow the wings you were told were impossible, and learn to fly. Many times you will feel that you do not deserve the flight, and that the wings do not belong to you. But the more you use them, the more familiar they will become.

You will use many masks, but remember that they are not you- they do not even belong to you, and they will fall off sooner or later. Keep enough of them to perform your act, but not too many, so that everyone can recognize you.

The Nature of Impostor Syndrome

What do you do when memory and imagination no longer serve as a refuge from the anguish of reality?

Between Time and Mind

I have built my castle in the wind. I'm not afraid of death, or oblivion, or that every particle of mine wanders through the desert until it hits your face like a grain of sand.

I am a daughter of the wind and it will take me to other lands. I don't care how long my sandcastle remains, because nothing will be left, not even my existence.

The Queen and her sandcastle

It is a portal, a crown, a lie, a hug.

Having fun

"Perhaps it is time for sandstorms, to fly through the clouds, to paint with smoke; time to see, time to try another beat, to send everything to hell; time to collapse, to stop avoiding looks, time to make time. Perhaps it's time to change. "


This NFT shows us metaphors about time and life's choices. By changing each layer, you create a different story and a different perception of time.

What time is it?

Don't worry, there are things you won't be able to control: not the future, not anxiety, not time, not even memories. Sometimes you'll start to melt before you understand what comes out of that rabbit hole that is within you.

Time will go too slow or too fast, or it will stop and then take a sudden leap. Ideas will slip through your fingers, but you will see them shine, and hopefully you can remember one that then illuminates everything, with its light transformed.

Your memories will be rewritten over and over again. But here is the important thing: there will be no one who can recognise them. Thus, they will change their faces until they die, and you will not have hands with which to grasp them.

Only pleasure will give you something to hold on to.

Abstract Echoes

"I've seen completely patched bodies that can barely walk, but they do walk. Thousands of different stitches, loose threads of many colors, patches of all kinds. Surprising bodies, full of textures and colors, full of patterns. They are a journey for the senses. Pain is not beautiful, by no means; but how good that wound looks once it has healed. I have seen it. Tell me, does this little darning make you uncomfortable?"
