For Mónica, the process of creation is the fulfillment of an instinctive need to express herself, through a sensual perception of the world that is embodied in her unique fabrics.
Hundreds of plastic bags whose fate was death and oblivion, having been thrown into the sea and smothering thousands of species, now serve as the skeleton of the artist's pieces. Through a slow and conscious dance, she wraps the bags until they become a new object, giving them life and consistency, through an exquisite form and an unprecedented function. From simple waste or mortal food to the support of multiple knots and yarns that, when intertwined, generate life.
The recycling of these supermarket bags represents a quest to resignify the woman, the housewife. The latter, also asphyxiated by an imposed destiny, does not claim to turn her back on the supermarket, but rather slips through the cracks of imperative roles and rigid identities, to become rope, thread, bag, in a delicate and ungraspable swaying of incalculable movements and sensual creations. Under their different forms, the lined plastic bags become a framework of textures, colors, and curves that, intertwined, give birth to magnificent shapes.
