Ophelia Carries a Crown of Blood
Overview
During a university theater class, Emma becomes entangled in a complex dynamic with her professor, Bernarda. As rehearsals intensify, art and reality blur, forcing Emma to confront shifting emotions and unspoken desires. The classroom transforms into a battleground of power, vulnerability, and artistic risk, where boundaries are tested, and identities reshaped. Through poetic language and evocative imagery, Ophelia Carries a Crown of Blood explores the ambiguity of student-teacher relationships, the cost of artistic devotion, and the haunting echoes of unfulfilled longing.
El augurio de la polilla
Overview
El augurio de la polilla is a poetry collection in Spanish written by one woman to another. Structured in four movements—Germen, Oruga, Crisálida, and Imago—the book traces ten years of a bond shaped by desire, silence, and what remains unsaid. It examines the persistence of the unresolved: the restrained body, prolonged waiting, a wound that does not close, and writing as the only space where the bond can endure.
The moth is not a romantic symbol but a figure of repetition and erosion—drawn to the fire, burned by it, returning. There is no promise of closure or redemption, only transformation and awareness.
