“"Mis Pepas is not just a series of portraits; it is a personal cartography about the meaning of inhabiting female maturity, a clear intention to rescue and transform the image of older women —friends for life or fleeting strangers— to give them back what oblivion often takes away: a unique identity and an intimate story."
The series is conceived as a meeting point of identities, a "network of female resistance" that brings together diverse women with common interests. The artist describes her work as a tribute to elderly women, whom she observes with admiration and gratitude, feeling deeply identified with them.
A distinctive detail in all the works is that the female figures direct their gaze to the left. This is not a random choice but a deliberate act of honor: a look towards the past (and perhaps, why not, also to the future) to acknowledge the journey made and the genealogy that sustains them.
