• The artworks in this exhibition represent intimate journeys of self-discovery and transformation. Each piece was created with care and intention, as the artists explored different aspects of themselves: reflecting on the past, acknowledging the present, and imagining the selves they hope to become.

    Every stitch and color holds emotions, memories, and layers of identity, intertwining the act of making with the deeper process of becoming.

  • Rooted in the creative and holistic well-being programs offered by Multicolores, these works show how artistic expression can strengthen self-esteem, support the reconstruction of personal identity, and create new narratives that empower the artists to live fully. 

    Each portrait in this collection is, in essence, a celebration of being—a reminder that knowing and accepting oneself is a path built with love, resilience and compassion.
