My life is made of transformations, like a butterfly
My life is made of transformations. It's a story. I was born and reborn every day. I came into the world with a disability. I was born, I got to walk and even in childhood I discovered that I would stop walking. When I least expected it, I stopped. As a teenager, I also discovered that I had a curve in my spine, scoliosis, all as a result of the disease I have and I LOVE. As incredible as it may seem, even with all the evil looks and prejudices that exist, in the society I live in, my disability is my greatest strength. Yes, it was with it that I learned to be strong. I've had my hard times, I still do. But as Frida Kahlo, my favorite artist, says, “The most powerful art in life is to make pain a healing talisman. A butterfly is reborn as a flower in a party of colors!” And that's how I go on... painting my path and my life. Carolina Monteiro
