This body of work showcases the personal journey of Saul Acevedo Gomez's growth and liberation from external validation. The series explores Acevedo’s mind and how he learned since he was a kid to create for the wrong reasons, seeking validation from others. Through his chaotic mind, the artist captures his journey of breaking free from his old way of thinking and becoming his authentic self. The works on display serve as a journal of Acevedo’s life as a perfectionist, depicting the war between his thoughts and the process of changing his perspective on life and art-making. Acevedo shifted from seeking external validation to creating for himself, resulting in a new body of work that captured his liberation and new thinking habits.
