No more quack quack - Templo Desierto

"No more quack quack.” 🦆✨ Sometimes you leave the world behind to heal like an alien in a bath — soft, surreal, and untouchable. Once, even silence had a ringtone… a reminder of someone who thought they could reach me anytime. Now the duck floats quietly, and the alien breathes freely. Sometimes healing is just that— removing the noise, to find peace in your own waters.   ¿Y quién termina pagando el pato? YO. Y yo ya no tengo para andar pagando patos. No more quack quack.   Painted in Hermosillo, Sonora - May 2023, from my last collection “Templo Desierto.”   Templo Desierto honors the land where I realized endings can also be sacred beginnings. A temple built in silence, in sand, in the stillness of Sonora — where I learned to rebuild from within.
