Like flower petals greeting the light of dawn. Like butterfly wings made of steel mesh. Like a supernova explosion that happened 20,000 years ago but still looks like it’s on day one. Like beads containingseeds strung on cotton threads stretched over a green valley between two mountain peaks. Like water bubbles mingling at a bubble convention. Like a heart pumping out indigo-colored blood. Like portals lined with effervescent silk. Like natural pills that cure you of language. 

Such visions may ariseas you lookat Chilean artist Johanna Unzueta’s sublime drawings on hand-dyed paper and homespun fabric. Go see them, feel them (not with your hands), and let them show you what the essence of life is truly like.
