Wild and Free
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
Mary Oliver
I never thought of myself as an artist. I knew when I was a child all I wanted to do was art. I imagined myself a famous singer living in a new city every other day. When I was a child, this fantasy life sounded so alluring.
Then I lived it, not as a famous singer, but as a careless, philosophizing, party girl paving her own path in this crazy, mixed-up world.
I realized while I was in La Plata that it doesn't matter if I do art forever because my real art is my life. Each new experience, adventure, lover, best friend, city, idea, country, language, challenge, boy I kiss, they're all paint strokes dancing across the greatest canvas of all: life!
These images exemplified people that are in it, doing the very same thing. We are the wild ones, running free, doing random shit, always testing the boundaries of our spirits. Sacrificing the known for the exhilarating adrenaline rush of the unknown. This is Wild and Free.

“Dime, ¿qué es lo que tienes planeado hacer con tu única, salvaje y
preciosa vida?”
Mary Oliver
Nunca me pensé como una
artista. Cuando era niña, sabía que todo lo que quería hacer, era arte. Me
imaginé como una cantante famosa, que vivía en una ciudad nueva día por medio.
Cuando era chica, esta vida de fantasía sonaba tan atractiva.
Luego la viví, no como una
cantante famosa, pero sí como una descuidada
pero reflexiva chica salvaje creando su propio camino en este mundo
loco.
Me di cuenta, mientras estuve en La Plata que no importa si
hago arte para siempre porque mi verdadero arte es mi vida. Cada nueva
experiencia, aventura, amante, mejor amigo, ciudad, idea, país, idioma,
desafío, chico que beso, son pinceladas en el lienzo más grande de todos: la
vida!
Estas imágenes ejemplifican
la gente que está en ella, haciendo exactamente lo mismo. Somos seres salvajes,
corriendo libres, haciendo nada al azar, siempre probando los límites de
nuestros espíritus. Sacrificando lo conocido por la adrenalina apasionante de
lo desconocido. Esto es Salvajes y Libres.
