HYBRID POETRY (2022) Digital Arts by Gustavo Castillo

In a semi-whitish environment, floats a creature that defies the conventions of form and life. This hybrid being, an amalgamation of a conjoined skeleton with elongated limbs that fragment into roots, is a manifestation of the interconnectedness of all life forms. At the center of its abdomen, a transparent red uterus houses a fetus, symbolizing the continuous cycle of birth and rebirth that characterizes nature.

Branches emerging from its body bloom with bushes of lilac, pink, and blue colors, showcasing the diversity and beauty that arises from hybridization. From its back sprout two dragonfly wings, a symbol of transformation and adaptation. This work is a testament to the hybrid poetry of life, where the combination and reconfiguration of elements give rise to new forms of existence.

The choice of the dragonfly as a symbol of this hybrid poetry is inspired by the etymological origin of the word "poetry," which stems from the ancient Greek "poiesis," meaning "to create." Like the dragonfly, which undergoes various transformations in its life cycle, we, as living beings, also constantly reinvent and adapt ourselves to our environment, thus creating a continuous dance of beauty and change.
