This piece is a triptych composed of a tapestry, an etching, and an engraving with an acrylic drawing superimposed on it. The set is completed with a ceramic. Energy. Arraiolos Panel (88x100 cm) The artwork depicts a middle-aged woman with signs of aging and scars from the past. The tapestry captures her energy and the labyrinth she navigates daily. In this print, she is merely depicted. The colors mitigate the depressive state she is experiencing. Etching and linography (69x99 cm) There is a flower that the woman consistently draws, which evokes her childhood, joy, and innocence. The flower featured in this segment of the piece is that very same flower she has drawn. Print from cardboard and drawing with acrylic on acrylic glass, distance of 3 cm gap between the print and the drawing (82,5x100 cm) This ceramic concludes the piece. It features flowers that are nearly dry but not entirely. Similarly, childhood, innocence, and joy have not yet concluded for this woman; they are not entirely 'dry.' Ceramic, painted with acrylic (17x12 cm)
