Leadership is happening from a male perspective. On social media, there might be 8 male speakers to the 1 female, for example. ItвЂ™s a male-dominated space the voices of the males are louder, and IвЂ™m trying to find those female leaders, and there arenвЂ™t a lot. As a woman and an artist, вЂњItвЂ™s challenging. The 24-part poem speaks to a womanвЂ™s experience as a wife, a mother, and a creator - something we donвЂ™t see much of in NFTs in 2021. 'Kylo Ren + the Divine Feminine,' 12:00pm The visuals of having that sky depict time and an overcast sky are almost claustrophobic with the text, together they feel like a tangible, contained place.вЂќ I wanted the sky to change, but to be a very grey day. The story moves throughout the day, but her mind is all over. It follows the linearity of time, but the speakerвЂ™s mind - the framework - drifts.

вЂњKylo Ren was already fragmented - bouncing in time, because that's how our minds work. Interestingly, sheвЂ™d abandoned the piece until she saw AsyncвЂ™s 24-Hour Canvas template, allowing creators to leverage a framework of programmability that updates each hour in a 24-hour cycle. Kylo Ren was inspired by my desire to question the cost of redemption-the Kylo Ren of the film is very much a Jesus figure-but presented in a reduction of scale for the privacy of a home. You canвЂ™t focus on the new you have to make room for it. Even if youвЂ™re just writing gibberish, that spark survives. вЂњThe spark of a poem is very important to capture in the moment - while itвЂ™s вЂstill hot.вЂ™ The heat of inspiration doesnвЂ™t photocopy. 'Kylo Ren + the Divine Feminine,' 12:00am I love the symbolic, but I love the poems that just say вЂthis is it.вЂ™вЂќ She quotes Louise GlГјck: вЂњвЂOpacity is fear.вЂ™ When we try to cover up what weвЂ™re feeling, itвЂ™s because weвЂ™re afraid of saying it.вЂќ I usually write in the midst of a problem. Of her artistry, Caballero explains: вЂњItвЂ™s purpose. When her son started having seizures, she started writing about the experience, turning it into an experimental nonfiction manuscript titled: A Petit Mal (вЂњA Little BadвЂќ), which won the Beverly International Award in the UK and set her up as a finalist for three awards in the U.S.

Shortly after, her father fell ill, so she moved to Colombia and wrote her first poetry book in Spanish - and became the first woman to win the JosГ© ManuelВ Arango National Poetry Prize.Д¬aballero has always found poetry to be home: a place of solitude, self-reflection, and processing. вЂњMy mom is a working woman and daughter of the 70s a womanвЂ™s independence is financial.вЂќДЄround the age of 27, Caballero had her son, and for the first time, had the creative space to edit and curate her collection. She explains that she never envisioned her life as an author, but was encouraged in her craft from an early age. Though most of her work she kept to herself, she took a writing workshop in high school - and then slipped poems into her Harvard application, almost on a whim. Around 12 years old, in the 7th grade, she knew she wanted to be a writer, appreciating the вЂњprivate experienceвЂќ that it often is to be a literary artist. She recalls scribbling on the back of her school notebooks - mostly poetry. Life happens inside our heads.вЂќД¬aballero in front of her work, on display at Dreamverse Gallery, NFT.NYC 2021Д¬aballeroвЂ™s been writing since she can remember. is a womanвЂ™s quiet, intimate thoughts, put on paper, and given value and merit. ItвЂ™s important to give voice to that thought-train in our heads that we think isnвЂ™t important, but is. She continues: вЂњA lot of my work seeks to give voice to the female of the home - her burdens, especially in the mundane, in child rearing. It questions the idea that female sacrifice is a virtue.вЂќ вЂњMuch of my work is about ripping the veil off of romanticized motherhood. And her piece, вЂњKylo Ren + the Divine FeminineвЂќ is similarly unique, telling the story of her characterвЂ™s thoughts as she moves through her day, in quiet conversation with her own internal dialogue.Д¬aballeroвЂ™s work, this piece included, speaks to a comforting and relatable experience of being a woman. Today, she finds herself in a unique position as an artist: SheвЂ™s a writer and a poet - and a well decorated one - a Latina woman, a wife, and a working mother.
