Your First Cry, 2025

This project was developed during the Illes d’Art artist residency program at the Centre de Creació Casa d’Artistes (Es Mercadal), a project by El Far Cultural.

In this work, the artist explores the gaze and the act of crying—how the image can become a living act that connects us both to our origins and to others. The process has been open and slow, woven with trials, intuitions, and silences, where each material and gesture has gradually found its place.

“What is the difference between eyes that possess a gaze and eyes that do not? This difference has a name: life. Life begins where the gaze begins. God lacked a gaze.”

— Amélie Nothomb, The Character of Rain (2000)

“Conventions called these appearances reality. Perspective makes the eye the center of the visible world. Everything converges toward the eye, as if it were the vanishing point of infinity. The visible world is arranged for the spectator, just as it was once thought that the universe was arranged for God.”

— John Berger, Ways of Seeing (1972)
