Abismo is inspired by the verses that the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972) left written in her room before her lifeless body was found in her home. The verses she left, before making her tragic decision, were:

I don't want to go

nothing else

that at the bottom

In this work, the oboe emerges as the protagonist of the inner struggle, symbolizing the abyss that dwelled within the composer as she expressed her thoughts. The oboe's piercing sound evokes cries of despair, while moments of doubt and melancholy are accentuated by the instrument's ability to produce both sweet and dark notes.

The work intertwines the motif of the scream and anguish with moments of meditation, as well as frenetic moments, reaching almost hysterical levels, creating an allegory of the various mental states that arise when we face the inner abyss of our soul.
