Roselyn Cabral's portrait collection, "A Mal Tiempo, Buena Cara (At Bad Time, Good Face)," originated as a collage-making activity during the pandemic, where she used magazines to create expressions that mirrored her feelings of disconnect from the world. Recognizing a need for deeper connection, Cabral decided to photograph her own portraits, gathering friends and family in 2021 to capture their essence within the intimate setting of her home. Together, they explored themes of self-connection, personal superpowers, and daily affirmations.
These collages embody a dance between light and darkness, unraveling the layers of human vulnerability. Each portrait is a testament to the profound beauty that surfaces when we embrace our true selves during moments of solitude, acknowledging the delicate interplay between spiritual essence and earthly existence. As spiritual beings navigating the human experience, the authenticity of these moments is revealed through the raw, unfiltered expressions of thoughts, emotions, and the depths of the soul. Through A Mal Tiempo, Buena Cara, Roselyn aims to illuminate the transformative power of vulnerability, emphasizing that the journey toward self-discovery is a continuous process of healing, unfolding day by day.
