Eugenia Güeto Gómez: The Importance of Resilience

PROJECT: LULA EDITORIAL, 2019
WORDS: EUGENIA GÜETO GÓMEZ

During my time at Numeroventi Artist residence I presented a photo exhibition / installation. I wasn’t able to find the specific supplies to carry out my initial plan, hence I was forced to find an alternative solution to display and arrange the exhibition.

Readjust the Route

I like to have things planned and under control. When I encounter an obstacle for the first time I usually need time to readjust the route to the new reality and be able to face the problem with a good attitude. This was one of these times. I panicked, blocked, stopped. After giving it some further thought I finally encountered an alternative solution I felt comfortable with. The new solution ended, indeed, being more in line with the DNA of my persona and my profound obsession towards furniture pieces and objects. The photo exhibition turned suddenly into a somewhat art installation.

Stop to Sharpen the Axe

It usually takes some time to accept the new reality and be able to face the problem with optimism and confidence. When encountering an unplanned obstacle or stepping out of your comfort zone, stop to sharpen the axe, tune into your soul and look out for alternative solutions that feel fresh and true to your vision—those will be ‘the ones’.

Search for alternative solutions that feel fresh and true to your vision.
