They Don’t Count the Times You Got Up — Mixed media on paper by Papayon

This piece blends cyanotype, acrylic, oil pastel, and ink to capture a wild rider in perpetual motion. The tally marks and text in the upper right (“En fin, no me rindo”) translate to “In the end, I don’t give up,” echoing the theme of stubborn resilience. In the background, a cyanotype of tangled trees mirrors the chaos beneath the surface, while the cacti and bold brushstrokes root it firmly in a desert dreamscape. Each layer builds on the last—an accumulation of falls and recoveries that become part of the ride itself.
