Original artwork description:
In Corpus Resonare, Raúl Lara places us before a figure suspended in transit, part of the Transitus Animae series. The body is not fully represented but deconstructed through image transfer on gesso, marked by losses, erosions, and torn edges that heighten its fragility.
The woman, arms crossed over her chest, lifts her gaze upward in a gesture of inward resonance. It is not an exterior triumph but an intimate refuge: a state between protection and openness. The face, partially veiled by the imperfections of transfer, retains its clarity, projecting a quiet strength that coexists with incompletion.
Rendered in monochrome, with no chromatic intervention, the work takes on a spectral quality. Absence speaks as powerfully as presence: the image seems to resist disappearance, revealing memory’s echo in its struggle to remain. The body becomes a membrane, a surface that vibrates beyond its own materiality.
In dialogue with other works in the series, Corpus Resonare crystallizes Lara’s poetics: incompletion is not lack but a space of truth. It invites viewers to contemplate their own vulnerability as a passage between emergence and dissolution.
