| Process of the Zin |
The
main idea or concept behind my zin was to create a collection of memories of my
childhood. In my case, the zin is build up by twenty postcards with printed
pictures of drawings that I made when I was a child. The drawings are a
reflection of my psyche back then, and along with the writing illustrate the
narrative. The writings on the back of the postcards are passages of things
that my mind has kept of my childhood in Cuba. It is a way to talk to myself
and remember the person that I was when I was a kid. The things that I
experienced and the way that I received them, the bad, the good, everything
becomes a conversation with my other I. The postcards show both sides in one,
the person that I was in the past and the person that I am in the present. Since
I’m Cuban, of course, the writing had to be in Spanish, it couldn’t have been
written in a better way. This project has awakened things that I thought I had
forgotten, but that instead remain in my subconscious. It’s bizarre the way
that the mind works sometimes.
