Mi Vida is a 35×35 cm artwork crafted with curving and cement, born from a personal reflection on self-identity and the physical form.
A conversation with a friend sparked the idea—”I believe each of us is represented by a part of our body. Mine is my nose; it gives me my voice for singing but also burdens me with allergies.” This led to the inevitable question: Which part of my body represents me?
The answer manifested in this painting. More than just a depiction, it is a self-portrait in essence rather than appearance, an attempt to materialize one’s personal connection to their physical self. Through texture and form, Mi Vida invites the viewer to ponder: What part of your body tells your story?
