This triptych continues my research on memory, disappearance, and the fragility of human existence, but through the lens of childhood and adolescence. While part of my work addresses feminicide and the erasure of women’s lives, these three paintings look back to the formative years where vulnerability and resilience coexist.
Each canvas portrays a child in a suspended moment: one with eyes closed and the body folded inward, another confronting the viewer with raw intensity, and the third caught in an intimate gesture of play. Together, they form a dialogue between innocence and the silent shadows that accompany early life. The use of luminous colors—pinks, reds, yellows—set against unstable, dripping backgrounds underlines the tension between presence and disappearance, between the joy of becoming and the weight of fragility.
By placing childhood at the center of my investigation, I seek to show how silence, trauma, and resistance are inscribed early in life. The triptych is not a nostalgic look at youth, but a meditation on the thresholds where identity begins, where stories risk being interrupted, and where empathy becomes essential.
