Red, such as violence.
Sculptures bleed like women, violence against women. Water, rain running off the drops which are shaped like small triangles with sharp points. The storm, the storm, giving way to rain that washes over thick sculptures and leaves scars ... life. Women
sculptures begin to dance, they snort and blood disappears in a whirlwind. They resemble each other, come together and transform into a dark ball, the Earth ... Its bark cracks ... The fire, the molten iron, like a volcano ready to erupt. Explosion, death and rebirth. Sculptureen bronze, gentle woman with battered bodies by scars,
scarification, indelible marks of life. Violence Against Women, scars of life.
