Description — Illustration created for Reflejos, a collective exhibition organized by Taller 108, where invited artists developed artworks designed to be screenprinted directly onto mirrors.
The concept of the exhibition revolved around "reflection" —both literal and symbolic. My piece explores the idea of how women see themselves reflected in other women, recognizing shared emotions, fears, and strength.
The illustration portrays a female face whose eyes are intentionally left unprinted so the mirror remains visible. In that space, a poem is placed so that viewers encounter the text while looking at their own reflection. As people stand in front of the mirror, their eyes become the eyes of the illustrated figure, completing the piece.
The text reads:
“En tus ojos veo miedo, me veo, veo fuerza y no es más que nuestro reflejo. Ahora mírate, mira cómo vivimos en tus ojos.”
The poem was designed to be read both from top to bottom and from bottom to top, maintaining its meaning in either direction. This interaction invites the viewer to recognize themselves within the work, transforming the act of reflection into a moment of shared identity and introspection.
