fan of eternal fragility

Aline Aniela, Cabrera Balderas

Mexico has the beliefs that women should be at home because they are considered fragile and submissive. At the same time, it is considered that the evil lies in her for giving up on life. The Mexican woman justifies the man's actions that violate her by softening her suffering.

This fan seeks to represent the visibility of women's suffering; From its shape it allows you to see through it to observe the true reactions of the woman at any moment of her daily life.

Social movements in Mexico that initially sought freedom were diverted by foreign influences, thus hindering the development of an authentic national identity in both the economic and political spheres.

armonía

The Armonía wind chime set represents the duality in Mexican identity, displaying two contrasting facets: one embodies the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, while the other represents the word "La Chingada".

Through sounds, colors and figures, these chimes manage to transmit this complex duality present in Mexican culture.

No te lo aguantes

Alondra Ruiz Vázques

It is a manual coffee grinder that represents vulnerability. The man who feels this way can be perceived as weak, fragile, helpless and weak. With this work I sought that the object could represent the process that involves showing a feeling and “not holding on.”

This function and process is fulfilled since the mill is an object that serves to contain and with the correct stimulus releases.
