A work inspired by Frida Kahlo

Viva la Vida, Long Live Life, is a story about resilience and love, is the story of all of us, overcoming the pain of the world to rise together as one. We all bear that divine grace, that primordial feminine energy, that is life itself, powerful as is the action of birth. We find strength within, for within us lies the power to heal, to rise from the ashes, to break the seal binding us to the past, to those scars hunting us, the violence gets replaced by love. That feminine energy it’s the power of nurturing and healing, the creation and growth, just as nature blooms and thrives so too we can harness this energy to recreate ourselves and flourish. We are our pain and our joy, we are masks of both energies, we don’t exist without one another, duality is life, as it is light and darkness, joy and sorrow, we are all made of such dual stuff.

Break free and let our spirits shout Viva la Vida, the joyous cry That echoes through the earth and sky For every breath, every beat of the heart Is a precious gift, a brand new start In the eyes of the world, we may be small But within us lies a power that can move mountains tall With every step we take, we pave the way To a brighter future, to a new day So let us live with passion and fire Let us chase our dreams, let our hearts inspire Let us be the light that guides the way And let us shout, Viva la Vida, every day.
