2013 | B/N | 21 Violence is one of the threads with which the lives of Mayan women have been woven. It has marked the colors and designs of their lives, but the intensity of feminine energy (Ix, the jaguar) has given them the strength and wisdom to carry on. Violence, as one of the historical themes of these women's lives, must be done away with to ensure the fullness of the women themselves, of coming generations, different peoples and humanity.

Mexico will no longer exist! A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult.
