Maestra Vida

As we age, our bodies and memories begin to fade, reminders of how transitory we truly are. Wisdom comes with time, yet for many, our value seems to diminish. Still, those who listen closely learn to understand the quiet lessons life offers. Others move through it unaware, not realizing that everything — the good and the bad alike — is only momentary.

Inspired by the lyrics of Rubén Blades’ Maestra Vida, this work stands as a reflection on the passage of time, on what it means to live, to age, and to find meaning in the fleeting nature of existence.
