The work's title, "Crisalida" (chrysalis), becomes an essential symbol by summarizing the idea of metamorphosis, of identity in mutation, so close to the work of Cecilia Paredes while highlighting the levels of sensitivity that animate her artistic proposal. For the work, Paredes is featuring the Chrysanthemum flower. The first chrysanthemums originated in East Asia. In the United States, chrysanthemums symbolize friendship, happiness, and well-being. It often blooms in autumn when other flowers fade away, symbolizing the virtue of withstanding all adversities. Pink chrysanthemum flowers are often tied to friendship and affection.
