Hace unos 7 años realice una serie de graficas de partes del cuerpo, esas partes del cuerpo estaban llenas de colores y formas y cuando las realice no sabía qué hacer con ellas, hace unas semanas revisando las carpetas de mi computadora las encontré de nuevo y me pareció oportuno crear una historia, una reflexión a partir de esas imágenes y compartirlos con ustedes. Aquí vamos.
About 7 years ago I made a series of graphs of body parts, those body parts were full of colors and shapes and when I made them I did not know what to do with them, a few weeks ago, checking the folders on my computer, I found them again and I it seemed appropriate to create a story, a reflection from those images and share them with you. Here we go.
EL CUERPO DE ALGUN MONSTRO
Siempre me ha fascinado la creatividad con que los monstros son diseñados, algunos para generar miedo o terror y otros que nos despiertan alegría y amor.
Este monstro que les presentare es un hibrido, una combinación extraña de partes desiguales y conectadas, como la vida misma, que es una combinación de muchas cosas, algunas veces raras.
THE BODY OF SOME MONSTRO
I have always been fascinated by the creativity with which monsters are designed, some to generate fear or terror and others that awaken joy and love in us.
This monster that I will present to you is a hybrid, a strange combination of unequal and connected parts, like life itself, which is a combination of many things, sometimes rare.
The eye that sees nothing
Nuestro monstro es parcialmente ciego, casi no puede ver nada, a no ser que este delante de alguna luz, es por eso que ama los días soleados en los que puede ver algunos de los colores.
La ceguera lo pone triste, mueve sus ojos de lado a lado, de arriba hacia abajo, parpadea rápidamente, se hecha agua y se frota con sus manos buscando algo que ver, pero siempre sucede lo mismo, todo lo que ve son manchas oscuras y rojas. Es por eso que su color favorito es ese, el color rojo.
Our monster is partially blind, he can hardly see anything, unless he is in front of some light, that is why he loves sunny days when he can see some of the colors.
Blindness makes him sad, he moves his eyes from side to side, from top to bottom, he blinks quickly, he runs water and rubs his hands looking for something to see, but the same thing always happens, all he sees are dark spots and red. That is why his favorite color is that, the color red.
The lips that speak in gold
Su boca es una gran pradera de cosas inimaginables. El mostro tiene un idioma antiguo que ya no se practica. Un idioma dorado con la habilidad de transformas cosas en oro puro. Por eso el monstro ha sido perseguido por cientos de años, porque en su escondite secreto, todo es de brillante oro y los hombres que persiguen al monstro quieren robar sus riquezas.
El monstro no entiende lo que los humanos dicen, se siente atacado, perseguido y horrorizado cuando un hombre logra encontrarlo, lo apuntan con armas, con insultos y miedo, y el monstro solo puede defenderse. Gritando Barala Barala Barala y transformando a esos humanos peligrosos en esculturas de oro sólido.
His mouth is a great meadow of unimaginable things. The monster has an ancient language that is no longer practiced. A golden language with the ability to transform things into pure gold. This is why the monster has been persecuted for hundreds of years, because in his secret hiding place, everything is of brilliant gold and the men who persecute the monster want to steal his wealth.
The monster does not understand what humans say, he feels attacked, persecuted and horrified when a man manages to find him, they point guns at him, with insults and fear, and the monster can only defend himself. Screaming Barala Barala Barala! and transforming those dangerous humans into solid gold sculptures.
Sensitive chest
Su pecho es la zona más vulnerable, quizás porque allí posee su gran corazón que late rápido como si fuera un tambor. Su pecho es rosado y dicen que parece el seno de alguna mujer. Su pecho se inflama cuando siente peligro y se pone sensible cuando siente que va a llover. Siempre anda protegiéndose porque sabe que su corazón será el trofeo que todos sus cazadores querrán tener.
His chest is the most vulnerable area, perhaps because he has his big heart there that beats fast like a drum. Her chest is pink and they say she looks like a woman's breast. Your chest swells when you feel danger and becomes tender when you feel it is going to rain. He is always protecting himself because he knows that his heart will be the trophy that all his hunters will want to have.
Your hands that feel everything
Las manos del monstro son grandes, fuertes y muy perceptivas. Ya que casi no puede ver, usa las manos para conocer, siente el camino que va recorrer, sabe en qué lugar esta, sabe que fruta esta por comer o que forma tienen los árboles, flores y animales que conoce.
The monster's hands are large, strong, and highly responsive. Since he can hardly see, he uses his hands to know, he feels the way he is going to travel, he knows where he is, he knows what fruit he is about to eat or what shape the trees, flowers and animals he knows have.
A belly button that helps you sleep
El monstro necesita dormir, necesita descanso y recuperar energías y es su ombligo quien le avisa cuando tiene que reposar, su ombligo se abre y emite una luz rosada, el monstro debe tapar esa luz con sus manos y echarse a dormir hasta que su ombligo se cierra de nuevo. El monstro sabe que si no cierra su ombligo y duerme, corre el peligro de volverse luz, de desaparecer de la tierra y convertirse en un rayo.
The monster needs sleep, he needs rest and recover energy and it is his navel that alerts him when he has to rest, his navel opens and emits a pink light, the monster must cover that light with his hands and go to sleep until his navel is close again. The monster knows that if he does not close his navel and sleep, he runs the risk of becoming light, of disappearing from the earth and becoming lightning.
The feet are ugly but fantastic
Los pies de este monstruo son enormes, miden más de un metro y tienen un color verde como la grama que pisan. El monstruo siempre ha sufrido por sus pies, como son muy grandes nunca ha tenido la oportunidad de usar zapatos, y está lleno de cicatrices y marcas por las heridas que el suelo les ha causado, pero sus pies son maravillosos, porque con ellos puede correr largas distancias, casi nunca se cansan y pueden seguir y seguir. Ha conocido muchos territorios, siempre escondido para que no lo puedan encontrar.
The feet of this monster are huge, measuring more than a meter and have a green color like the grass they walk on. The monster has always suffered for his feet, since they are very large he has never had the opportunity to wear shoes, and he is full of scars and marks from the wounds that the ground has caused them, but his feet are wonderful, because with them he can run long distances, they almost never tire and can go on and on. It has known many territories, always hidden so that they cannot find it.
Las figuras de monstros siempre me han llamado la atención, son como metáforas que los humanos hemos creado para explicar nuestros miedos, para generar terror y control, o para explicar a otras personas que son muy diferentes a nosotros, y esa diferencia genera miedo, y hace que veamos a los otros como alguien fuera de este mundo.
Pero he aprendido que en verdad esos monstros no son tan villanos, no son la maldad que se dice que tienen, sino que se defienden del ataque de quienes no lo conocen. El ataque de quienes sin dar tiempo a comprenderlo lo catalogan como una amenaza.
El mundo está lleno de monstruos y debemos aprender a cómo lidiar con ellos, nuestros monstros internos y personales y los monstruos que aparecen en el camino. Algunos con intención de destruir, pero la mayoría con intención de hacernos crecer.
The figures of monsters have always caught my attention, they are like metaphors that humans have created to explain our fears, to generate terror and control, or to explain to other people that they are very different from us, and that difference generates fear, and it makes us see others as someone out of this world.
But I have learned that in truth those monsters are not so villainous, they are not the evil that they are said to have, but rather they defend themselves from the attack of those who do not know them. The attack of those who, without giving time to understand it, classify it as a threat.
The world is full of monsters and we must learn how to deal with them, our internal and personal monsters and the monsters that appear along the way. Some with the intention of destroying, but the majority with the intention of making us grow.
