Vomiting solutions onto the world, 2020
Gouache on paper. 29,7 x 21 cm
this metamorphosis has been painful
—but all metamorphoses are—
forced into our cocoons | our bodies collectively transformed | pressured and squashed | by the illness of the globe |
I never knew how much I missed plants —
I never knew how much I was a tree.
I am a tree. I am a tree .
Plants flowering | Trees peopling | all our of bodies | must all be morphing
Trans bodies —
all trans | forming.
All those mourning bodies under the ground —
I wish I could vomit solutions onto the world.
I wish the ground could vomit back up | the bodies
we bury inside of it,
— give them back to us
in the shape of trees.
- Cecilia Granara, April 23, 2020
