Records of the COVID

In late February I caught Covid-19 in Barcelona. On April 3rd, after almost a month, I left the hospital, weak, very weak. I had been in the ICU, my immune system was in crisis, my tired body was ready to let go and my mind was struggling, alert, without sleep. I was about to “cross over,” and came back to life …

Leaving the ICU, I made some sketches of what I felt I was living. I sketched with what I had at hand. You will see the result in this sample. It is something experiential, precarious, a way of seeing myself at the limit, and recording it as awareness of my own fragility, of life’s beauty and of the naturalness of death.
