In this work, the fragmented image tries to
represent more than a specific woman, several
women, or the same collective woman. The
simple textile fabric that forms around the
image is intended to be an indirect timeline.
It will be woven with cotton and wool fibers
dyed with cochineal in the traditional way, as
well as synthetic fibers and other threads
frequently used in today's embroidery.
More than an effort to carry out an embroidery
in the traditional way, this fabric represents
the inevitable way in which the textile becomes
an inherited language, an intuitive act of
memory that already contains little of its
original value, but that continues to evolve.
Carrying the materials and the stories of the
women who were before.
