This
piece is part of a series where I reflect on gender violence and women's
identity, called "Useless tactics of female empowerment" (Tacticas
inutiles de empoderamiento femenino). I use real fabrics from clothing,
buttons, and other materials as metaphors of what women cover or discover when
choosing how to dress every day. The colors and textures represent the many
personalities that we have. However, the harassment lived daily in the streets
in form of catcalling, can determine the way women dress. I present with this
piece an alternative, an armor to be protected from this violence. The names of
each piece comes from real catcalling collected from a survey I did in 2016.
