A Reflection on the Washing Machine
Reflections are nothing more than a projection of a certain reality. They show concrete images that reveal the circumstances of an environment full of contradictions and everyday life, where everything can be seen clearly, precisely, and practically without filters. These images accompany us at all times in our lives, and in them we discover incredible colors, bold shapes, and, in the best cases, unique clarity.

Un Reflejo Sobre la Lavadora
Los reflejos no son más que una proyección de determinada realidad, en ellos se muestran imágenes concretas, las cuales delatan las circunstancias propias de un entorno que está lleno de contradicciones y cotidianidad, en donde todo se puede ver de manera clara, precisa y prácticamente sin filtros. Estas imágenes nos acompañan en todos los momentos de nuestras vidas y en ellas descubrimos colores increíbles, formas atrevidas y, en el mejor de los casos, una nitidez única.
On this occasion, after finishing washing my clothes, I made sure to dry the washing machine thoroughly, clean its surface, and practically polish its covers, so that everything would be neat and ready to be used again. But while I was doing all this, I discovered that a perfect reflection was forming on that smooth, dark plastic surface, clearly defining the colors of the sky, the greenery of the trees, and, in contrast, a large splash of colors from the hooks and the clothes hanging on them. This was a rather interesting scene, one where we can find an everyday reflection, yet another example of the reality of many homes, not only here in Venezuela, but in many parts of the world.
