This artwork explores the tensions between identity, migration, tradition, and contemporaneity through the representation of female bodies displayed as mannequins. Constructed from traditional Mexican embroidery, these bodies evoke collective memory, ancestral knowledge, and forms of cultural transmission historically linked to women. The piece contrasts the aesthetic delicacy of the embroidery with the reality of gender-based violence that persists across cultures. By presenting these bodies as objects of observation and consumption, it questions the mechanisms of female objectification and the social structures that normalize violence. It also reflects on how certain traditions are preserved or idealized, while practices that perpetuate gender inequality remain invisible or are justified in the name of custom and tradition.
