Joy as an elixir for (re)connection, aliveness, presence. Joy as a compass. These spirals are the fruits of a  participatory art project that harvested responses to the question what brings you joy? 

The question is still alive – and now it has found you, too.  What brings you joy?

La alegría como elixir de (re)conexión, vitalidad, presencia. La alegría como brújula.

Estas espirales son el fruto de un proyecto de arte participativo para el que cosechamos respuestas a la pregunta ¿qué despierta tu alegría?

La pregunta sigue viva y ahora también te ha encontrado a ti. ¿A qué sabe tu alegría?
