🍁A life that isn’t lonely🍁
This little and imperfect drawing has ended up being very important to me. The other day I saw Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, and I think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It's carved a special place in my heart.
That final scene, watching the sunrise, culminates in the appreciation for the inevitable life that Adam demonstrates from his very first moments, and there's nothing more precious to me than the passion, joy, and tenderness of being alive. I couldn't help but cry a lot and feel grateful for having seen such a clear story of love for life, something that has inspired me tremendously and has made me think about it constantly these past few days. The art, the acting, the dedication, the script, the cinematography... absolutely everything in this film is immense, so I felt the desire to reciprocate by doing something that would warm my heart the way this film and Adam did. Like a love letter.
And here's this little drawing. It hasn't taken me much time, but rather a lot of reflection, because inevitably, with my experience and practice, I still have a way to go to capture something like what this film has evoked in me. So I've felt saddened and even exasperated in the process, something I suppose is normal for artists. Even so, I'm happy because if this film teaches us anything, it's that the act of creating is worthwhile, something pure, something to give a chance to and love. For now, this is a love letter from an artist who is beginning to capture the beauty of this world as best she can, to one of her all-time favorite films. Thank you for reading me.
