Ansiedad

I wanted to portray anxiety itself, so that you can only understand it by seeing the image. Many times it is difficult to explain each case and how each person experiences it, but I feel that the majority falls on the fact that if they could draw it it would be something like this, a little pain, a little desperation, screaming, anger, feeling like the guts are coming together.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

I took reference from the authors George Nees and Michael Noll, mainly from their works Wrong Paths and Patterns by 7090. I liked how these served the purpose I want to achieve. I like when they show a bit of catharsis in their works and that’s why I wanted to approach something like that, I like the idea that someone sees the image and just by reading the title feels something or remembers something, and also feels understood by someone else. Based on Brea’s text, I would be functioning as another producer, one who tries to produce through his work a sense of complicity, if you want to say, that it has a meaningful, symbolic and intensive effect to show that only those who suffer from something like this can understand each other and understand what falls on each person. The work shows lines that move intensely, just like the sensations and how it feels in the head, each line would function as a thought that comes and goes, which does not make sense, but does have an explanation: anxiety. Staring at the image one can get dizzy and it is something that I unconsciously realized that also generates another effect due to anxiety. Taking specifically the concept of Ubiquity shown in Valery’s text, there is a point that helped me a lot to understand the purpose of the existence of this work, precisely when he talks about being able to transport this kind of event at any time and/or place, thus wanting this work to take on a meaning of ubiquity just as he says. The concrete and important goal of this work would be that wherever and whenever it may be, what caused it from the beginning from my deepest depth is understood and caused.
