Jose Parla’s experience with Covid-19 and recovery from a coma underscores the unpredictable and profound effects the virus can have on individuals, revealing both vulnerability and resilience.
During the coma, I was dreaming and when I woke up, I was living that other reality. I was convinced that I owned many hotels around the world and that I had been kidnapped, along with my brother, in Hong Kong.
Doctors were not optimistic about my recovery, fearing I would never walk again. Yet, in just six months, after intensive rehabilitation, Parla regained his voice, mobility, and memory.
My paintings now have greater depth due to my experiences. The pandemic was intense, and my artwork reflects a newfound perspective shaped through adversity.
