No llores más Original by Aerovi Aerovi

Mixed media collage (with my own photographs and embroidered duck canvass).
 
The aim of this artwork is to provide hope especially under current circumstances across the
globe. The collage is full of symbolism:
- Upwards, sky with sunbeams and the transcendental element of the hand.
- Downwards, the river of life where sometimes we feel like drowning.
- An almond shape surrounding the suffering person, made out with the photographs
of the bridge that crosses that river in reality. The almond shape represents the
feeling of cocooning and consolation, and also power to overcome problems, as
mandorlas in Romanic Pantocrator representations.
- Burned limits: as sometimes life burns like hell.
- The duck canvass is the key element of the piece, not only because it was the reason
for this project, but also because of the hand giving hope and love (the hearts), as
the two solutions for world problems. It is embroidered in green colour (the colour
of hope in Spanish tradition) and tainted in red wine with a transcendental sacred
connotation.
- The collage is placed on a mirror, interacting with the viewer. If you feel reflected
(and going through a difficult situation), here you have the cloth of hope and comfort to dry your tears.
