sitprettynow. visual artwork by natalia vásquez
what does 'sitprettynow.' mean
did you know…
the search for home is over
it exists within your heart
———–
(this work is a visual study of the winding path from darkness to light)
from blindness to seeing
from thinking to knowing
from doing to being
———–
sitprettynow.
is a term chosen in 2005 as a resistance.
as an artist name.
(whatever that means)
a fight against the patriarchy.
a quiet, steady (r)evolution.
———–
just sit there.
and look pretty.
-they used to say-
your voice.
is not welcome at the table
———–
i screamed
-and was not heard-
i cried
-and was not heard-
i feared
-and was not heard-
———–
and then
one day
i sat.
———–
it was not pretty
-the sitting-
that felt like crawling
like drowning
like digging
like dying
-the sitting-
that explores internal landscapes
sees every thought
feels every emotion
observes without judgement
yet moves mountains
reconnects to spirit
-returns to divine truth–
———–
it is b e y o n d pretty
———–
it leads to breath
to courage
to creation
to freedom
to Love
———–
so today
i sitprettynow.
–with gratitude–
