Lovely doll,
flower of your soul,
disoriented from life,
my departure begins.
While you feel the cold on my pale skin,
my breath blows a warm breeze.
I could not hear you, nor smell you, nor see you,
yet I was happy.
My wide eyes fixed upon her—
Oneness! she shouted, only one.
You were no longer in her,
but I had found my place
and rejoiced in peace.
Suddenly! sorrow filled me,
for I would return from my journey.
I hear it again, I smell it again, I feel it again—
how sweet life tastes,
though disoriented I shall remain.

Linda muñeca,
flor de tu Alma,
desorientada de la vida,
comienza mi partida.
Mientras que frío sientes en mi piel blanca.
Mi aliento sopla una cálida brisa.
Ni escucharte, ni olerte, ni verte podía,
pero feliz me encontraba.
Mis enormes ojos se centraban en ella,
¡unidad! solo una gritaba.
Ya no estabas en ella,
pero mi lugar encontraba,
y bien estar gozaba.
¡De repente! Pena sentía,
pues de mi viaje regresaría.
Vuelvo a escucharla, a olerla, a sentirla;
que dulce sabor tiene la vida,
aunque desorientada me quedaría.
— El Viaje por Mithea D. 2008
The doll in Mithea I. D.'s work symbolizes the soul as a feminine principle seeking to return to its origin. Through its journey, the soul sheds veils of ego, experiencing a "small death" similar to the one we undergo in sleep, but while awake. This transformation leads the soul to the ultimate realization of the Absolute, where only the Origin and Truth remain. The doll represents not only the multiple identities we wear in life but also the archetypes hidden beneath them. Mithea’s artistic journey, expressed through diverse techniques, reveals this gradual ascension toward spiritual enlightenment, where each veil lifted brings the soul closer to its true essence. The repeated presence of the doll in her self-representations speaks to her ongoing search for the purity, where art and philosophy merge to embody the pulse of the soul.
