During 2020 I kept this sheet of paper in my window. The restrictions of confinement increased my questioning of the emotional conditions of the situation, and in a circumstance of confinement, I believed possible interaction with the outside from the exploration of the transparent membranes of my home. An answer never came, and like my waiting, the paper was marked with the passage of time and the damage that any prolonged exposure generates. This gesture with language was the beginning of a research process about the understanding of time from the experience of observation and its contrast with the way in which I understand and define the time to which I have always exposed myself, a different time that demands the action of the body and which I have called tropical time.
