The two feminine sculptures symbolize the open dialogue between those workers whose heart oppressed by the preserved at the same time was proud of everything related to it.
The work invites us to position ourselves on the traces of women, and adopt for a moment the complex perspective that it housed in them.
The lighting design represents constellations of fruits and vegetables that, really, were conserved.
