The piece

The piece began with an investigation into compositions of acrylic paintings made up of lines of colors that blend into each other and whose supports are MDF cuts. In this case, the cuts are shapes that represent the chemical elements essential for maintaining health in humans. In the midst of a pandemic, concern for health completely changed our way of living and relating.

In the summer of 2021 I started taking singing classes as therapy and to learn more about the vocal apparatus. The teacher showed me how those who use their voice to sing breathe and how through these exercises it is possible to expand the capacity of the lungs and diaphragm, allowing the singing to be more intense and its sound longer.

These exercises are called air columns.


Taking a deep breathe intensely and then release the air slowly and steadily. This exercise along with others that have to do with breathing allowed me to reflect on the vital activity. Becoming aware of my breathing, in terms of rhythm and depth, has always been an action that I consider essential to enter myself and encourage reflection and avoid eating my head. Breathing deeply and consciously allows you to organize your own thoughts.
