E. M.
"Visitor"
An empty house, a forgotten home, a nakedness that expresses freedom and security, or on the contrary: exposed and vulnerable lack of protection.
A scenario can generate the emotion of feeling alone or accompanied, it makes us reconstruct with memories, the parts that do not exist or that we have lost.
With abandonment, a stage ends but also the possibility of a new beginning is generated. The skin is shed like a peeling wall that whispers its secrets.
The temperature of each season of the year is felt because it filters through those doors and windows that once existed.
Nakedness can be objective when we see it as it is, and subjective even if we see it dressed.
Who is the visitor? The one inside or the one outside?
They observe you from their own perspective.
One under a roof that one day lit up at night, taking the pulse of life that she carries on her arm.
The other, feeling the breath of the house that darkens with the sunset.
