Mariana Paiva Rebola - °1995 - Portugal
"The distance between the original desire and its fulfilment is short. My skin has become permeable and I have lost control of form and time. The designs are out of my hands, there is no way to contain that power without castrating myself.
I feel, just like you, in a moment closed in on myself. The isolation gave me that space in a house and in me. However, this containment of physical freedom has opened up a great arena of inner freedom. I run without fear of falling, and I run because I want to learn to run. The muscle I work with is the colour, which I didn't even dare to imagine. How long have I been thinking in black and white? How long had I been manifesting myself in shades of grey? When I run, my body changes and my eyes grow. I get thirsty for new shades and compositions. And again I get the urge to practice."
