CRISALIDA
It has been hard for me to get out of bed. And Crisálida is just that: a lithography of the passages of my life, not only my mind's- but my dreamscape; The oppressive journey of the hero who crosses the cavern abandoning their ordinary world between dreams and nightmares; And a threshold crossed, where one more day the voices of those who were able to travel, and of those who stayed at the starting point, are heard.
