Introspection
Introspection is the observation that a person makes of their own consciousness or their states of mind to reflect on them. It is the ability to focus attention on your own perceptions, concerns, sensations and thoughts.
In a philosophical term it is a means to learn about our being
Every human being is made up of thoughts and emotions that house an intimate nature, and whose discovery requires courage to dive behind the scenes of appearances and remove those layers that we have done for a long time.
Thus, introspection has been the object of study since the very birth of Psychology, when it was imposed as a method for accessing the internal processes that govern affections and behavior.

Thus, there are therapeutic approaches that make use of it as a method of evaluation and/or intervention; Some examples are therapy based on mentalization, mindfulness (full or conscious attention) and cognitive restructuring.

There are 10 pieces created with direct ink in solvent, acrylic and pvc on transparent flat sheets. They are 40 x 40 x 4 cm cubes using monochrome colors in grayscale.
In each work you can see a figure trapped in those layers of lines in different shapes and has an opening in them to let a whole part show through. Each layer is transparently opposed to the other creating the final image.
