"Sowing New Energy"
Art of being: A self portrait in Rug Hooking
By Rosario Gutiérrez Pacheco de García
My work symbolizes an inner rebirth. As I created it, I reflected on my life and each of the struggles I have faced.
I have learned that every challenge brings with it a valuable lesson and a renewed energy to keep moving forward.
In my portrait, I am surrounded by birds and flowers, a reminder of life’s transitory nature. All cycles pass, and that is why it is essential to embrace each moment and never take for granted the time we are given.
With this piece, I hope to inspire others to live fully in the present and to cherish each day as an opportunity to begin anew.
