REPENSAR LA MUERTE PARA ENTENDER LA VIDA | | Gabriela Reyes Fuchs | TEDxCuauhtémoc

[Music]
days before my father died
I remember staring into his eyes
he had brown eyes with a halo
grayish around the iris and tell me to
I never forget your eyes
after his death the reality does not
it made sense I had to understand life
and death
maybe because of my training as
cinephotographer
instinctively as well as when he gives us
hungry feel the need to look at their
ash to the microscope
to the surprise of all scientists to
those that I approached that augured
monochromatic images the
discovery that I made transformed my
world view
the entire universe entered my mind
it was like floating in the universe
to know that space a space
expansive without body
I was absolute happy it became peace
this image
they see it
that is the image of the ashes of my
father under the microscope
and this one is the brother of someone
more and so I could teach you infinite
all my fear and all my sadness
disappeared I did not feel disconnected from
nothing or nobody
his death rather than an end represented the
double principle that today is the project
of my life of project tenacity
for me this insinuates that our more
pure material essence we are caressed
for the cosmos
and that when we look in the mirror there is
maybe in that reflection infinitely more
of what we believe
and that matter is not created or
destroy becomes more an action
I guess a principle of
thermodynamics thanks
