Artwork description:

In a riot of urban colors and layered textures, a hummingbird hovers midair, caught in the act of sipping from a vivid red hibiscus - a moment suspended in time, trembling with life and hesitation. The bird, rendered in glowing greens and blues, becomes a symbol of fleeting desire and fragile courage, set against a background echoing with graffiti, memories, and ghostlike human forms.
This piece is inspired by famous Mexican poet Octavio Paz’s haunting metaphor: "Helado por el miedo" -“Frozen with fear” is not a literal description of the state of an object, but a metaphor that expresses the paralysis or nullification of a feeling or desire due to the presence of fear. The hummingbird, nature’s tireless seeker of sweetness, appears still - not from lack of will, but from an invisible shiver of doubt. The flower offers its nectar, but the moment stretches, uncertain.
The urban chaos behind them - graffiti, faded faces, symbols - mirrors the emotional and spiritual noise that fear breeds. Amid the vibrant cacophony, the bird's stillness becomes a metaphor for the human condition: a dance between longing and hesitation, between instinct and fear.
