The excesses, clay sculpture by Daniela Rendon Salgado

I used to be so sad, I started making art, now art is the thing that keeps me alive and brings a reason to my life, it brings me joy.

I wonder if the things that I do or say have a real impact on the ones who see me. I wonder if art can safe your life, i wonder if you are okey.

I know I said that this brings joy to me but I havent stoped suffering thinking about all the things that are wrong and could be different if humanity weren't so selfish.

And scares me thinking that we havent learned anything and that we are going nowhere.

I have to protect myself from all the hate, the pain and the excess, in order to be happy but how do i do that without blinding myself from the things that surround me?

I dont wanna exist convincing me that everything is okay when there is million of peope that have died of hunger and another million of obesity, when there is children fighting for a war they don't undertand. When we lost conexión with Animals and nature. When theres extreme Political corruption, like in my country. When there's Wealth concentration. Could keep talking.

Everything is a shitshow.

Its the devastation of all the things that are really important, replaced with the illusion of opulence.

I dont thing that we know when to stop, i dont think that we care at all.

Maybe I'm an idealist for dreaming about a world that doesn't destroy you on the inside showing you how miserable it can get to make you more malleable.
