Self-Contained

Hola my friend!

Today I wanted to share this papercut with you, the title is Self-Contained. This piece will be at Couturier Gallery in September of this year. Lots of ideas came to my mind when I was creating this piece. 

When my brother came to visit us we enjoyed the luxury of having long conversations. We talked about so many things. Talking with my brother is a gift to me because we have the exact same background; we come from the same mother, we grew up in the same place and on top of everything we have very similar ways to see the world. Then we both have two children: a boy and a girl and both of our boys are Autistic.

Many of the things that we talked about had to do with the ideas behind this piece, like for example: taking care of the people that we love plus taking care of ourselves while doing so. It sounds simple but this is, in my opinion, one of the greatest challenges that we face as parents of young children. The good news is that this is possible. The secret is only one: don't ever give up your dreams, don't forget about yourself because the happier you are the more you can give to all people in your life :)
