The original idea for this triptych was a collaboration on three different interpretations of the last line of the stanza of Pablo Neruda’s poem “Every Day You Play”.

My words rained over you, stroking you.

A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.

I go so far as to think that you own the universe.

I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,

dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.

I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.

Original poem in Spanish:

Poema 14… Juegas Todos Los Días…
Mis palabras llovieron sobre ti acariciándote. 
Amé desde hace tiempo tu cuerpo de nácar soleado. 
Hasta te creo dueña del universo. 
Te traeré de las montañas flores alegres, copihues, 
avellanas oscuras, y cestas silvestres de besos. 
Quiero hacer contigo lo que la primavera hace con los cerezos.
