Woman Project
Woman is a series of 4 conceptual artworks made through the installation of intervened daily-basis objects. The serie delves into the issue of empowered women: their origin, their nature and their self-realization process.
The series was exhibited at the V Edition of Woman Art, yearly organized by the Commerce Chamber of Costa Rica, where the artwork "Traje" won the contest because of the clear representation of the entrepreneur women.
