The Crossing

"A Travessia" is more than just a depiction of my daily life; it is a metaphor for the spiritual journey we all face. Inspired by a powerful dream, the painting reflects the moment I found myself standing before a narrow wooden bridge, suspended over an endless abyss. Each step, each attempt to maintain balance, symbolizes the trust I place in God to overcome life's challenges.

In the painting, my roles as a mother, seamstress, and daughter intertwine with this path of faith. The presence of my mother, despite her illness, and my children around me represents the bonds that sustain me as I navigate difficult moments. But at the heart of it all is a woman with a distant gaze—one who dreams, trusts, and moves forward.

This piece is an invitation to those who are on their own journey, reminding them that even when the other side seems invisible, faith guides and supports us with every step.
