Amancio Paradela

Splinters and paper cuts are honorable. They are stinging reminders of the restorative rituals in finding new life in desiccated and reconstituted media. Every striation and crumple is indicative of the veins through which life once flowed. Every brush stroke and speckle is symbolic of a yearning for something more. Every node represents a prosperous past, and every bud a hope in an uncertain future.
