Alexithymia: The struggle to identify and describe emotions is echoed in the swirling abstraction of the piece. The vibrant hues—green for growth, blue for melancholy, and red for passion—blur into one another, making it difficult to separate and name individual feelings, much like the condition itself.
Prurient Limerence: The polka-dotted forms evoke a playful yet obsessive fixation, hinting at a yearning desire that is both overwhelming and unattainable. The upward-reaching, claw-like shapes seem to grasp at the intangible, embodying the desperation of limerence.
Anemoia: The nostalgic yearning for a time never experienced is captured through elements that feel both ancient and surreal. The organic, vine-like forms might symbolize forgotten memories or unrealized dreams that intertwine with the modern psyche.
Gradiva y Yo: A nod to Wilhelm Jensen's Gradiva and the psychoanalytic interpretations by Freud, the title suggests a personal dialogue between the artist and an idealized figure, blending dream and reality. The sense of motion in the forms mirrors Gradiva's iconic stride, transcending temporal and spatial boundaries.
This artwork is an intricate dance between connection and disconnection, desire and loss, and reality and fantasy. It challenges the viewer to find their own narrative within the kaleidoscope of colors and forms, making it as deeply personal as it is universally resonant. A piece that is as much about introspection as it is about expression, Gradiva y Yo leaves an indelible impression, inviting repeated exploration.
