Scars.



Scars often reminds me of something that I'm going to live with the rest of my life, it can be a Tragedy or something very simple that is in our subconscious. Tragedies are always related to pain, and the visual image we get from pain is a person suffering.

I started to observe images of dead people, people in pain, suffering, crying... etc.



Humans spend a lot of hours during the day in a vertical position. when the body is in an horizontal position is when the body is in rest. If we start observing other moments that the body spends time in a horizontal position for an extended period is when we are dead or sick...
I came across a few stories but the most interesting one was THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF M. VALDEMAR by Edgar Allan Poe, which talks about a man who is lying in bed and we are not sure if he is sleeping or dead. While reading this story I kept in my mind the idea of horizontal lines and how it can be related to death.

Other moment when the human body is not vertical is when we are falling, the body is completely out of balance...
