Visceral Poems
Visceral Poems was born during a five-month journey across Latin America.
During that time, I started listening more closely. Listening to the people around me, to songs that crossed my path by chance, to books that found their way into my hands, and most importantly, to myself.
Little by little, I realized that I needed to find the words I wanted to keep close. Words that could help me grow, heal, and remember who I wanted to become. Some came from songs, some from philosophers, and others emerged from my own thoughts at the right moment.
I wanted to give these words a place in my home and in my daily life. But I didn’t like the idea of covering my walls with obvious messages that would eventually become background noise or unconscious mantras.
So I decided to merge writing and drawing.
The words are hidden within the images. They are present, but they do not impose themselves. They reveal themselves only when I choose to slow down and pay attention. They can only be read if I dedicate the time and focus required to discover them.
In this way, the phrases do not condition me. They do not become a religion, a command, or a constant reminder. Instead, they become a conscious ritual a meeting between an idea and the moment when I am ready to receive it.
Each “escribujo” is a quiet reminder of something I do not want to forget.
And you?
What words would you choose to keep close?
Is there a phrase you would want to live with, grow with, or simply never forget?
