Abstract / Artist's Statement
Guayabera
Creative Writing
In Guayabera, I plan to evoke emotions of grief and sadness, encouraging the readers to dive into their own personal experiences when interacting with this story. Such as the feeling of not knowing where to go anymore after your world has been damaged or even destroyed. My inspiration came from the series Kissed by an Angel written by Elizabeth Chandler; when I read Chandler’s work it resonated with me for reasons that I could not could not understand. I was too young to fully comprehend and identify the true emotions and the movement of the story. Now with more experience I can understand why it continues to be an aspirational text for my work.
In Guayabera, Amelia is learning how to live her life after the loss of her boyfriend.
