‘Odessa’ —the one who receives pain.
‘Rosaura’—the golden rose.
This work is a meditation on the violence of the gaze—the unwanted, conniving eyes that impose themselves upon the body. The figure becomes both a recipient and a witness of societal condemnation. Roses, traditionally symbols of beauty and delicacy, here represent the tenderness worn thin by scrutiny and judgment. They bleed—not from within, but from the slow erosion of self by external forces. The golden rose becomes a site of both suffering and survival, where beauty is not just admired, but wounded.
