Idolas (Idols) is a series of portraits intervened with hand embroidery. The portraits correspond to women from Argentina and the world who, with their work, profession and passion, opened doors for all the others.
Idolo, in Spanish, is an epicene noun, that is to say, it has no gender or feminine correspondence.
Idolas are the women I admire and that we should all know.
