"In my work there is a reflection on the concept of contemporary femininity in which, once women have overcome the invisibility imposed by patriarchal society, that same patriarchy threatened by the loss of power, creates new forms of submission through worship. to the body through advertising and the mass media, where fashion editorials and other types of publications present women as consumers and as objects of consumption. Through “pop” reminiscences I immerse myself in the stereotypes that mark us with the logos of advertising brands defined not as a product, but as a lifestyle, an attitude, a set of values, a personal appearance or an idea" (C.C.).
