"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can." -Frida Kahlo

Judgements and analyses have been considered by the mighty Greeks being enough in our development. Curiously enough, the most major problems of the world cannot be solved by these features, they do not need further analysis. They need design. And because the entire world is too much of an ambitious example to give, I chose to talk on a smaller scale, about the life of one of the most iconic presences I have ever had the chance to read about. 

Frida Kahlo suffered a terrible accident in which she broke her spine (and damaged her pelvis and uterus) when she only was 19. This incident pushed her life towards a static dimension, where movement and freedom become painful memories of a precedent life. But she refused to fall. She refused to give up, reaching her apotheosis. She started to paint and create art...until she became art.

In this design (initially thought of as a book cover one), I tried to aim for the boldest feeling that Frida might have every time she painted. She was immobilised. No chance to escape what just happened to her. Escape is a powerful impulse. And this is what generated the whole idea. 

Time and space are relative. They are concepts we patterned and acted like they serve humanity in order to define itself at a point. But what if “time” and “space” escape their physical dimension and begin to embrace the spirit. I think this is what Frida discover in her way towards art. Her soul became spaceless and in an instant, she could reach gold, space, mountains, fog, snow and blood. The essence of richness, of nature and life itself, stagnated in one single picture that would make her timeless and spaceless. Her body was trapped, but her heart evolved. This is was I think Frida Kahlo felt.

She reached for other heights and discovered spaceless mountains of heart gold and life.
