Ver envejecer y morir a mis padres. Vivir su muerte.
Verlos ahora en su origen provincial: en su poesia, en sus rezos, en sus errores y enmiendas.
Vivir su ritual para darles un lugar y ubicarme en medio.
En un punto de balance.
Entre lo creativo y lo receptivo. Entre lo que doy y lo que merezco,
Entre lo que ya acabó y lo que aún no empieza.
Desde ese lugar, dibujo.
(Poetic translation from the original Spanish)
……………………
To watch my parents grow old and die. To live their death.
To see them now in their provincial origin— in their poetry, their prayers, their flaws and redemptions.
To live their ritual, to give them a place, and to find myself in between.
At a point of balance.
Between the creative and the receptive. Between what I give and what I deserve.
Between what has ended and what has yet to begin.
From that place, I draw.
