MOTHER / 2020
Mothers don't hate their children
Mothers don't kill
Mothers don't kill themselves
"Come in, children, into the house; all will be well."
Euripides, Medea
I began to think about something that until now had never crossed my mind, I suppose because of my age, am I going to have to choose between dedicating myself to the world of art and being a mother? Until now, when I thought of a mother I didn't think of a woman, just as when I was a child I didn't think of teachers as if they had a life after school.
Now that I am a woman, I feel closer to the possibility of being a mother and I am flooded by a thousand questions about what it is to be a mother, what society defines as being a mother.
I wonder ...
MADRE / 2020
Las madres no odian a sus hijos
Las madres no matan
Las madres no se suicidan
«Entrad, hijos, en casa; todo va a salir bien».
eurípides, Medea
Empecé a pensar en algo que hasta ahora nunca me había venido a la cabeza, supongo por mi edad, ¿voy a tener que elegir entre dedicarme al mundo artístico y ser madre?
Hasta ahora, cuando pensaba en una madre no pensaba en un mujer, igual que de pequeña no se piensa que los profesores tienen también vida después de la clase.
Ahora que soy mujer, siento más cercana la posibilidad de ser madre y me asaltan mil preguntas en torno a qué es ser madre, qué se supone que la sociedad define como ser madre.
Y me pregunto ...
