Betta fish usually have to be isolated inside aquariums in a small individual enclosure, on the one hand, to protect their long and beautiful fins from the attack of other fish that are attracted to them for their beauty and because, in turn, they are territorial and would fight to the death with another male fish that crosses their path. Inspired by this magical and at the same time tragic being of the waters, I wanted to investigate the opposite poles that this fish arouse in me and openly debate with everything that moves me, finding in its path a possible resolution through expression. The feelings of isolation, confinement, fear, aggressiveness, horror, territoriality in contrast to those of communion, freedom, happiness, lightness, beauty are played in Betta, who in addition to being this wonderful being of the waters, is I, my body and the forces that run through me. Intertwined with multiple memories and situations in my life, I found a meaning for the feelings that Betta generate in me. The magical-tragic country that saw me born and grow up, Colombia, reminds me of the same sensations as that tiny aquarium fish: the debate between the opposite poles, between life, death and the immense longing for freedom.
