The perception about human corporeality denotes moral codes and norms that command a specific society.
The collection is focused on body scars. In how these are perceived and treated socially; Marks left by the predictable coming of time and those that arrive unexpectedly. These build our identity but are hidden, rejected and resisted for some reason. Women who live in discomfort. Bodies that lose instead of transforming.

In this collection we question the way in which we approve the des- personification of our bodies, stripping them from their own experiences and leading them to a chronic error. I aim to redirect that focus and give power to the experiences that shape us as human beings.

The objective of my work is to make visible the signs of our experience on our skin through the use of clothing.
'Mummies' and 'mommies' flirt around the moral codes of appearance of women, the power of gestation and social mandates to hide the marks on their skins.
