DANIEL TAVEIRA
BAPTISM

Experience the acute pain of death and the supreme ecstasy of rebirth. Do not let me be misunderstood by the subtle murmurs of my own soul. The mirror reflects the death of my ego; the man plunged into an abyss of darkness, chained by silence, within the mold of the supremacy of his best version. In each breath, I feel the essence slowly dissipate, as if time and space merge into a single point of infinity.

Innocence, I will let you go, I will follow my path. I made blood the ink that paints the garden of my Eden, the first landscape, now corrupted by the red stains of the occurred. You were so eccentric with me and I underestimated you, despised you, and in the end, I mutilated you, slowly murdered you with the sharpest objects.

In this surrealist land, life is not just a straight line, but an eternal cycle of death and rebirth, where each period symbolizes a new chance to forge our best version.
