The work "468 grapas" (468 staples) stands as a tribute to the duality of the female experience, intertwining elements that evoke both strength and vulnerability. Natural wood symbolizes the ancestral and the organic, reminding us of our deep roots that connect us to our history and the earth. Each grain and knot in the wood tells forgotten stories, whispering secrets of past generations and reflecting the eternal cycle of growth and transformation.
In contrast, the transparent tights represent femininity in its purest form. Their delicacy reveals as much as it conceals, reflecting the complexity of female identity. These tights embrace the body, suggesting fragility and sensuality at the same time; in their transparency resonates the echo of the visible and the hidden, inviting exploration of the layers of our own existence.
By combining these two elements, a narrative is created that invites reflection on the experiences of women who bear the weight of the world on their shoulders while finding beauty in their fragility. The wood provides a firm support while the tights add softness, symbolizing the union of strength and delicacy.
The light that passes through the transparencies of the tights represents the female soul shining brightly, illuminating dark corners where fears and insecurities often hide. This work thus becomes an internal journey, where each viewer is invited to discover their own connection with these dualities.
"468 grapas" is a tribute to all women who have woven their stories by intertwining strength and delicacy, showing that in this union resides a profound and unbreakable beauty.
