On February 18th I saw Perseverance arrives at Mars and from that moment I began to consume, almost daily, incredible pictures of Mars and space, that are recorded in my mind and make me dream about other worlds.
I thought of the community of scientists from all over the world celebrating at NASA, but there was something else.
The images of Mars came back and returned to my mind.
Then I remembered that in these months there were different missions there, from different countries, different cultures, relieving, studying…humans in the outer space… and the idea of community became stronger and stronger.
Looking for a cardboard for the base of this project that I still couldn’t imagine, I found a nice cardboard that came from the bottom of an old desk’s drawer.
It had a perfect ink stain that looked like a big, deep black hole and, suddenly, everything fit perfectly: the community was building, new spaces in space. From there everything became clear. In that old scratched cardboard, the community wrote the future.
On Mars, on Earth and an infinity of planets. With papers of different shapes and colors, like us,humans, in an infinite and limitless space.

A few days ago I heard on the radio about Ukraine, that spring was coming there… and I tried to imagine the spring sprouting in the fields and among the ruins and the silence of the empty cities and I imagined it, full of flowers… but in black and white.
Días atrás escuchaba en la radio hablar de Ucrania, decían que allí estaba comenzando la primavera…y trataba de imaginar la primavera brotando en los campos y entre las ruinas y el silencio de las ciudades desiertas y la imaginé, llena de flores… pero en blanco y negro.
Qualche giorno fa sentivo alla radio parlare della Ucraina, che lì stava arrivando la primavera… e io cercavo d’imaginare la primavera che germoglia nei campi e tra le rovine e il silenzio delle città vuote, e la ho immaginata, piena di fiori… ma in bianco e nero.
OLOF
Diana Segovia, 2021
Collage on paper | 29 x 21.5 cm
A autumnal nigth I found myself watching a tv show about the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986.
I immediately reminded my surprise when in 2015, walking through a central street in Stockholm on a spring afternoon that refused to begin, I found myself stepping on a brass plate full of letters where I clearly recognized a name, whose letters were larger than the others: Olof Palme.
There, right there, he’d been murdered outside a movie theater. That daily, horizontal homage brought me back to the commotion I felt as a teenager, at the other side of the world (a world that I wanted to travel through and understand with the impetus of understanding everything and then change it, typical of young people) reading the news in an Argentine newspaper. Today, with another age and another look, I reflected on how difficult it is to understand and go through senseless violence.
The impulsive, unexpected and irrational act that often breaks into our increasingly regulated societies. The violence that erupts and plunges us into a puzzle of pieces that do not fit, of false perspectives, impossible to assemble.
Olof Palme was a prime minister, and also a son, a father, a husband who went to the movies with his wife one cold night. This is my memory.
EL HOMBRECITO CUENTA SU PEQUEÑA HISTORIA

“No one ever asked
hesitated
there’s a reason
-I can walk alone- he said”
“Nessuno ha mai chiesto
ha dubitato
per qualcosa sarebbe
-posso camminare da solo- disse”

LA MEMORIA DEL ALMA
THE MEMORY OF SOUL
Diana Segovia, 2022
Collage on paper | 23 x 24.5 cm
My own experience like mother showed me that maternity is an act so powerful and so strong, that can awake different memories at different ways, physical, psychological and spiritual. In such a wide sensitive opening I think we can link our experience with different memories or stories told by the women in family but also with memories kept in our soul and so present but also difficult to recognize. Maybe those memories come from another life, time or spaces but are still in the memory of our immortal soul. In my own vision, those memories can arrive like images or fragmented words, even in different languages and sometimes really hard to understand but that sounds distantly familiar and they gather all the experience of the maternal lineage that we have experienced and definitely have an important role to continue drawing the map of maternity.
