The emotions caused by the confinement due to the pandemic surfaced in the 2022 Women’s Hall
She says that it is the first time she has participated in the Women’s Hall. In fact, she entered her work without much expectation of winning; That is why when she was told that the opposite had happened, she felt surprise and joy at the same time. “It’s an award that comes in handy because I’m working on a new project (…) so it helps me buy material”Manging mentions.
From its name, the work alludes to the beginning of something. The author of it says that it is between the sublime and the sinister. “It is a work that reflects on isolation and mental disorder, and how the compulsive repetition of a single panorama –although this panorama is familiar– over time becomes deformed and acquires this sinister tint”express.
That is why it contains some symbolic elements that capture that isolation that she recognized in herself, her family, acquaintances and patients. (She is a clinical psychologist). “It is a work to look at for a long time. It is a work that you have to look at several times, not only stay in the contemplation of the clouds or the most beautiful, but realize those other aspects”it states.
She gets these details as a result of a creative process to which she dedicates enough time. “My process is very slow, it begins with an idea with which I connect, it is very emotional (…) and from there I reflect a lot on the subject, once I have reflected on it I begin to sketch, I begin to see how I can express the idea plastically, Explain.
