My name is Edo, I'm in my twenties and I'm an art student in Argentina.
One of my teachers asked us to think about who we are, and I found that very annoying because I'm the kind of person who overthinks this kind of thing.
Now I have to write this “about me” page, so I'm going to share what I wrote back then.
In Spanish, there are two verbs that translate as “to be”: "ser" and "estar". "Ser" refers to “that which constitutes the nature of things, what is permanent and unchanging about them.”
It’s easy to know what you’re doing, but when you have to think about what stays the same, things get complicated.
Apparently, people change throughout life, but how much, really? What I notice that remains in me is sensitivity. I'm sensitive to the world, and part of me wishes I weren’t so much. I'm also curious, I want to understand why things happen and learn all the ways people react to those changes.
Consciousness is a curse.
I'm trying not to lose my mind.
I built this website because I wanted a place where I could talk about whatever I wanted and be unapologetically myself.
Lately, I feel the need to find a reason behind everything I do and everything that happens. So, why do I want to have this space?
First of all, not everything I’m interested in can be shared with the same three people, and Instagram wasn’t an option. On the other hand, studying art is like wanting the drawing class to end so you can go draw what you want. In short, I wanted freedom. And finally, I think creating helps us understand who we are, and understanding ourselves helps us be better.
