Cámbiame

Ink on paper, 40 x 30 cm

In this visual poem we can see the conjugation in Spanish of the imperative mode of the verb 'Cambiarse', a reflexive verb that means 'to change oneself' in English. It is repeated six times for every possible person we have in this language. We can see that the root of the word 'camb' is strong and as many roots doesn't change, but the desinences, suffixes, which are those parts from verbs that show the person, mix. We can see then here, a reflexion of the change that needs to be done from oneself to bare the future of our existence.
