The piece responds to two visions of gender: on the one hand, the denunciation of the violence normalization against women within the history of art and, on the other hand, the rage as a motor of change in feminist imaginary. Faces of terror, fear and fury intermingles in this polyptych to turn it into a piece of lament and rage.
