"Espíritu Libre (Free Soul)" is a thought provoking portrait of contemporary painter Diana Carolina Lopez, capturing her unwavering strength and intuition in the pursuit of her dreams, regardless of the odds. Surrounded by delicate yet resilient paper cranes, the painting symbolizes perseverance, transformation, and the courage to rise above challenges. This work is part of the Healing Words Project, an internationally recognized initiative that uses photography and painting workshops to document the healing journeys of women. Through art and personal mantras, participants explore their stories, find empowerment, and reclaim their voices. The words Diana chose to inscribe on her skin—Sabiduría (wisdom), Compasión (compassion), and Espíritu Libre (free soul)—represent the core values that guide her artistic journey and personal growth. Espíritu Libre is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of self-expression, inviting viewers to reflect on their own healing journeys.
