Written and performed by Alejandra Smits Shot by María Gaminde When the light is strong enough I wake up, and I’m born a new woman every day. I like staring at my hands and knowing they will help me build symbols and objects of value. I want my hands and body to be fast but I also want them to be graceful. I think I like Paloma Wool so much because I love Paloma Lanna. Getting dressed means choosing a companion for your skin. Even if your body acts as a canvas. Putting on some clothes makes me feel almost as good as I feel when I’m completely naked. I’ve observed how my words grow between my chest and my back. My curves rest inside a warm hug. I cherish the possibility of transforming every action into a game. So I protect my cells from the ice and the fire. Exactly like a poem I write for my skin and soul. With colors that are friendly to my heart, they feel smooth and close to me. Fabrics that help me become a superwoman. Soft, comforting, but somehow, unbreakable. I’m entering a world of genuine power.
