Lot Essay

To experience Paula Santiago's work is to know her intimately. Her work is an actual product of her body not just her mind. As Racquel Tibol has written, "without ostentation Paula Santiago offers her own blood, her sustaining magic, not to feed the Sun or the Earth, but to convince herself through sacrifice that life exists"
