NADA New York 2025

The painting is about communication and missed information, letter to everyone the artist loved and lost. It is about all does things she wanted to say but could not.
The back of an envelope that has not been unsealed. The birds symbolize messenger pigeons. The wax seals are located triangularly and reminds us perhaps of a logo of recycling, as if birds were flying in circles. It can also remind us of a heart shape. This is a letter that will never reach destiny and will not be delivered or read. The message that will always come back to the sender. At the end it is a letter to oneself.
