Conceptual and theoretical development of the piece Marchers
The sculpture depicts five women marchers, figures standing tall with a determined, proud, and courageous attitude, advancing in a joint movement that symbolizes the strength of the collective and the transformative power of female action. Their arrangement in a row, like a poetic army, evokes not only the physical march, but also the historical march of women through the centuries, from invisibility and subordination to the conquest of social, political, and cultural spaces.
The vibrant, pop colors covering the figures are more than just an aesthetic device: they are a gesture of affirmation, a visual cry that breaks through the opacity of historical silence. The colors unfold like a language of resistance, joy, and diversity, vindicating the plurality of identities and the creative power of the feminine.
Their monumental size makes these five figures contemporary totems, guardians of a legacy and heralds of a different future. Their scale invites reflection on the magnitude of the role women have played in the economy, art, and culture, and on the symbolic debt that history still owes them.
On a philosophical level, the work confronts us with the question of the historical subject: who writes history and from what perspective? These women, standing tall and in motion, are the embodiment of a subjectivity that refuses to be an object. They represent the will that opposes inertia, the vital affirmation that transcends the established order, the desire to inscribe their voice in the universal narrative.
In this sense, the installation is not only a tribute, but also a critical act and an invitation: to recognize the power of femininity as a place of creation, thought, and change. Five figures that are not immobile statues, but bodies in transit, living metaphors of a humanity that advances when femininity ceases to be peripheral and takes center stage.
