LA FRAGILITY AS A CREATIVE AND GENERATIONAL COMPETENCE.

We were taught to be solid. To resist To never crack.
We were told that strength is control, continuity, hardness. That stopping means failing. That breaking means losing value.But something has fractured in recent years — not just around us. Inside us.
We live in a state of constant exposure: emotional, creative, professional. We are asked to function while empty, to stay sharp while exhausted, to remain coherent while changing shape.
In this context, fragility is not a weakness. It is a skill.

Breaking is not failing
To break means to lose form. And losing form means becoming open to change.
Creativity doesn’t come from hardness. It comes from cracks.
Every necessary language is born from fracture — personal, emotional, identitarian. Not from balance, but from imbalance.
Vulnerability as a creative language
Vulnerability is not weakness. It is refusing to censor who we are when we stop functioning. It allows error to remain visible. It resists over-polishing. It stays in doubt without rushing to resolution.
In creative work, this produces imperfect but alive projects. Narratives that don’t explain everything — they resonate.
Fragility becomes a skill when we learn not to erase it.
Rebirth is not going back
To be reborn is not to return to who we were. It is to accept that something has changed forever.
Every collapse removes an armor. Every rebirth gives us a more sensitive body — more exposed, but more honest.
Strength is not never breaking. Strength is knowing what to do after you break.
A new grammar of strength
Strength is stopping. Strength is saying “I can’t.” Strength is changing direction.Strength is starting again without having all the answers.
In a culture obsessed with toughness, fragility is radical. In a system built on performance, vulnerability is resistance.
We are not strong because we endure.We are strong because we break — and choose how to rise.
