Sometimes stained, without realizing it we stain the erroneous awareness of what is right and what is wrong for life. HIV is like a tattoo, a permanent mark like the disease itself, I rely on that relationship between tattoo, disease and stain to transmit a little that state of guilt that is related to the disease itself that metaphorically stains health, leaving a mark that sinks you or makes you reach heaven, prompts you to overcome, changes the way you see life since it makes you aware of death. This installation was built with the mechanical cleaning of a tattoo at the time of its manufacture, making with the fortuitous folds of the paper, spots that are related at a visual level with a technique and projective method of psychodiagnosis created by Hermann Rorschach commonly called as test of Rorschach or Rorschach test. This test consists of the patient interpreting accidental forms, that is, images without specific configurations, in order to establish characteristic features of their personality and of the emotional and cognitive functioning that shapes their interior through their responses. Based on this theory, with this work I create a playful relationship between image and viewer waiting for a rereading and decoding after their own reinterpretation of the spots.
