Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The Woman is a powerful source of inspiration for me. Despite being the source of life and the glue of society is permanently marginalized on many occasions by a macho society that does not allow it to reach its full potential. It is subject to social roles that do not allow them to be authentically free as men are and makes them spoiled icons of this society that sees women as an object or as a goddess.
