caveat: i don’t speak spanish, so that limits my ability to fully get this as a work. however, the visual design is really fucking cool and something i haven’t seen before; the fragments and the effort involved in trying to read the poems/look at the drawings seems to reflect trying to decipher ourselves/other people. of the poems in english, i liked “Look! A seeker of eternal death” the most; because i’m from the united states, i think everything is about the united states, but i also felt like it had to do with colonialism/imperialism/the lessons former colonies learned from their colonizers.

wow Thanks a lot for checking it out and everything! I like your interpretation of the layout of the website, for me it really was about trying to know myself better as the poems were made through all of 2019 and it was a year where I changed A LOT , so seeing that you got that similar feel too makes me really happy :)))
I actually was considering making a full translation in English and maybe other languages in time for the end of the jam (although I don't know if my English level is high enough for such a task). And yeah Seeker of eternal death is one of my favorites, at least for me it is about imperialism through culture devouring other cultures in a search for immortality/self perpetuation.
