I knew that adjusting to a new place takes time, but why in the process of it all the machines around me have to fail?..
First it was the monitor of the computer, of course it had to happen while I was working on the new video. Then it was the car - so now I can really get stuck here in the house. And the cherry on top was the computer refusing to turn on since yesterday.
It´s like this: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I did finish the video and am proud of it. I was pregnant with this project for a few months now and didn't have time to work on the materials, they piled up and were bloating my head, calling me to take care of them..
I will try to post a small view from it in my art website as soon as the "!!·$%&/( computer feels better.

taking reality slowly
It is two weeks since we moved to Mexico and things seem to be better already.
There has been some changes here since the last time I was here (three years ago). It has to do more with the mentality than with the outer look. The way people drive and go about is calmer for some reason - perhaps since there are more cops around (because of other problems) but it helps many other issues as well.. It is strange to have to say that it helps to have more security in the form of police or military officers, and it is quite sad to be that sober.. but this is such a huge city that there is no escape from this kind of reality.
Besides that, on a more personal note, my Spanish is better, I can actually understand what people around me are talking about and sometimes even answer back. That makes a huge difference, one doesn't feel so out of reality and isolated.
And the best thing for me is there are movements towards exhibitions and gallery contacts, I am charging my batteries and getting ready.
here are a couple of photos of my close surrounding, next time I will put wider range landscapes.

it's getting closer
In 3 and a half days I am going to leave the place that I have lived in for the past 3 years, and although I am attached to my family and will miss them terribly, it is very refreshing to start in a new place.
here is something in honor of the moment:
