Visual Essay Apolillada

Maca Lateülade

Sleep is inevitable; death, too.
This essay explores sleep and death. How these two equally intangible worlds coexist and blend like fragments of a glitch, while simultaneously merging with night and darkness. We delve into infinite, kaleidoscopic images—grotesque and ethereal—from which we desperately yearn to awaken.

Between literalness and symbolism, I attempt to answer the question: does dying feel like succumbing to sleep?

Üla is an illustrator and graphic designer (and occasional printmaker), born on a full moon night in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She primarily develops visual identities for architectural, gastronomic, and cultural projects, performing roles ranging from art direction and design to illustration. As an illustrator—influenced by surrealism, distant travels, and darkness—she is interested in compositions that combine a dreamlike aura with dynamic stillness, mediated by transformation, high contrast, and touches of color.
