La intención focuses on how history and different societies and cultures have reacted (collectively and coactively) against individuals who instilled a type of unjustified fear in them. A fear caused, in many cases, by mere difference or simple ignorance. From images of a highly narrative character, Galindo builds a story that has its origin in those of the Inquisition. A witch hunt that, consolidated by successive times, came to represent a generic doubt and archaic stereotypes around women that still survives. These have to do with issues as perverse and absurd as the lucubrated and diabolical capacity for pernicious seduction attributed to them by those classes, aberrant prejudices penetrating the social ideology.
