SCARS I

Suddenly one day you get up and life hits you hard again in the face. Tell us someone dear, I have found a “bump” in the chest. You ask yourself, another ?, Fuck !!!Okay, that’s okay, you’re trying to reassure me. We call the doctor, and you explain the situation. We are asked, when has it been detected? Yesterday, during your daily routine of preventive exploration. But if we gave him discharge last year, if everything was perfect? We comment, if yes, until today. How old are you now Eighty-four will do. After all these years of reviews and negative tests, since the last intervention in the left chest, was the third, we entered a process of theoretical normality, because in annual cadarevisión, you again invade the ghosts of a few years ago. All this leaves us scars, which some become scarred in soul, more when you have lost loved ones not long ago and that will last in the memory. But this, marks us for life.Some say that it makes you stronger, but we would say, perhaps more realistic in this situation, or rather, we become more aware that we will not be here forever. We start the process again, for some, ordeal for others.While doing the different tests, let’s observe how the “bultito”, is following sucamino, until becoming less time than it should be, in a tennis ball. Everything is prepared for the intervention. It is repeated again. The old ghosts of the past, of a not too distant past, are awakened. That leaves wounds that close to become scars, scars or furrows that are transferred to the matrix of zinc, scars that remember, scars that leave no part for oblivion, this time bigger scars, which become scars forever, well, or rather, until we are here, parallel with the life of the matrix, except that in the latter we can decide. SCARS I, is the first engraving, which is part of a series of engravings made in various types of dies and by direct procedures on plates or dies, by means of non-traditional mechanical tools in engraving, angular grinders, rotary tools, machines of tattooing, trying to transfer to the matrices those impulses and emotions that they feel when trying to put themselves in the skin, of those who suffer this disease, and to transfer them by these means to the intervention of the matrix, since with them they obtain a greater depth in the scars of the plates or matrices.
