Bandera: I come in Peace

ES

Esta pieza forma parte de la instalación artística  titulada My War Against Love is Over realizada por Ana Sting durante la semana del 27 de enero al 2 de febrero en C/Alejandro Sanchez 94, Madrid, España. 

La artista reflexiona acerca del choque entre la muerte y el amor en su proyecto My War Against Love is Over. A partir de una experiencia de ruptura, la artista entra en un período reflexivo y solitario donde se pregunta acerca de su entorpecimiento relacional constante, su negación del amor. De esta forma, la soledad que surge como consecuencia de desprenderse de cualquier vínculo y realizar este proceso de introspección es considerada como beneficiosa. Poco a poco consigue reconciliarse tanto con los demás como con ella misma, percatándose de que, al final, aquello que ha provocado la guerra entre ella y el amor es precisamente el miedo a la pérdida del mismo. Para entender y así poner fin a esta guerra interna, Sting traslada al ámbito de lo real su campo de batalla.

Finalizada la batalla, el triunfo es representado a través de una bandera realizada en seda salvaje y pan de plata que incorpora el mensaje “I come in peace” (Vengo en son de paz). La ligereza de la misma funciona como respuesta a la armadura, como puerta de acceso a una vida despreocupada, simple, desvinculada de cualquier tipo de sufrimiento y guiada por el amor.

This piece is part of the artistic installation titled My War Against Love is Over, created by Ana Sting during the week of January 27 to February 2 at C/Alejandro Sánchez 94, Madrid, Spain.

The artist reflects on the clash between death and love in her project My War Against Love is Over. Stemming from an experience of heartbreak, the artist enters a reflective and solitary period, questioning her constant relational hindrances and her denial of love. In this way, the solitude that arises as a consequence of detaching from any bonds and undergoing this process of introspection is seen as beneficial. Gradually, she manages to reconcile both with others and with herself, realizing that, in the end, what has caused the war between her and love is precisely the fear of losing it. To understand and thus bring an end to this internal war, Sting brings her battlefield into the realm of reality.

Once the battle has ended, the victory is represented through a flag made of wild silk and silver leaf, incorporating the message "I come in peace". The flag’s lightness serves as a response to the armor, symbolizing an entryway to a carefree, simple life, detached from any form of suffering and guided by love.
