No tenía ganas de nada, solo de vivir is a cotton and hand dyed wool, brocade woven cloth, ink, sand, and text from Juan Rulfo’s short story “Tell them not to kill me!” from his collection “El Llano en Llamas” or “The Plain in Flames,” measuring forty by seventy inches. It lays on top of a rectangular platform. In the center is a vertical, rectangular woven tapestry. It appears rough in texture, and the weaving is made up of black, gray, cream, and white wool. The colors weave in and out of each other, except for the top right and top left corners, which are woven solid black squares. The center of the tapestry has the imprint of a person in black ink. Some parts of the figure are missing, appearing like a person laid on top of it. The figure is curled up, with the head at the top of the tapestry and the feet at the bottom. The figure’s right leg is pointing away from the rest of the body, with the left pointing down. The hands are extended, the right one palm side down and the left palm up. The sides around the tapestry on the platform are covered with sand. In the center of the tapestry, the surface is raised to emphasize the remnant of the body that is imprinted into the weaving, as if to make it appear that someone is lying under it.
