"Daylight’s Glow"

Art of being: A self portrait in Embroidery

By Simeona Lucía Juárez Yax

Life often presents us with challenges. I like to compare it to being in a forest, surrounded by nature: a space where we can experience deep peace, but also moments of fear and discomfort.

In my portrait, I show myself immersed among trees and plants, symbolizing how life confronts us with challenges that, if we observe them carefully and in the light of each day, can transform into opportunities to grow in courage.
