    The body talks (text)
    I have used a mannequin as a visual methaphore from female body and the human condition.
    The mannequin represents an individual body and a collective body that makes up our identity.
    The Body talks, shouts. The bodies are in silence and some are broken.
    Individualism ,in this globalized world, is connected through the sum of wills through cyberactivism. New technologies have became an instrument of dissemination of the struggles and new ideas through the exponential viralisation of the representative images.
    To sum up, I strongly believe it is important to recognize the images or ideas behind the movements. Usually, most of the images or ideas that represent the struggles or issues are similar in different parts of the world, but each one is adapted to their own culture through representation. In the global world it is interesting to re think the struggles that join us and the ones that make us different.
    Some things bonds us as a human beings: what happens to one woman, happens to all of us.
