Armor 2. Now It's Time to Take Care of Myself

The second work, Now It's Time to Take Care of Myself, speaks to the experience of growing up, breaking down, and blooming through trial and error, independence, and solitude. The artist rebuilds a family nucleus from a place of independence, creating a new nest and finding ways to protect and care for herself.

This piece reflects the need to find a sense of belonging and safety in a hostile world—returning to anchoring figures and the comforts of childhood, while creating a space of her own where she can feel safe and protected. The work becomes a symbol of resilience and the ability to flourish in the midst of adversity.

“Armor 1. Skin Mapping Through Time” by Sofía Espíndola is part of a series born from an urgent need for protection against the weight of external judgment.

The armor, as a symbolic shell, is shaped and reshaped by social expectations — beauty, youth, perfection — until it begins to distort. But in this piece, the armor is no longer rigid: it becomes vulnerable. A scarf of wrinkled skin wraps around the chest and body, embracing what is usually hidden.

Skin, a witness of time, becomes both map and manifesto. The work offers an intimate form of resistance against the imposition of eternal youth — an unattainable ideal that often demands the abandonment of authenticity.

Here, the armor does not conceal: it protects the truth of a body that lives, changes, and resists. It celebrates imperfection as a form of beauty, transforming the shield into a gesture of self-acceptance.
