Nudos addresses trauma. Personal as encountered in individual relationships as well as cultural in regards of the Puerto Rico U.S. relationship. It has acrylic drawings and embroidered drawings in ‘free-motion’. I explore guilt as a knot for the spirit. In the text, I explore the guilt trapped in my throat and my writing. It is a book that confesses the sexual abuse in my childhood. With a powerful healing prayer, I release all the knots in my body and spirit. The book is a way forward. The hastily stitched images speak of the catharsis that releases the pain and anguish of 48 years in silence.” — artist Gloribel Delgado Esquilín
