*Part 4*
And we reached the last transformation to my work prior to doing my book.
The last thing I created were these posters-like images, all inspired by signs and slogans used in marches from back home.
The color green is prevalent throughout all of them because it signifies the color of the handkerchiefs that took over the movement. In 2003 the green handkerchiefs became the symbol of the fight for free, legal, and safe abortion; it was born in Argentina and it then spread all around Latin America becoming a very recognisable icon. The clothes hanger on the other hand is an icon recognised more globally, that’s why I chose to use it in the majority of my pieces (given I’m working and creating stuff in the UK).
The phrases that you see are all in Spanish:
“Educación sexual para decidir, Anticonceptivos para no abortar, Ab**to legal para no morir”➡️”Sexual education to decide, Contraceptives to not abort, Legal abortion to not die”
“Legal o Clandestino”➡️”Legal or Clandestine”
“No es si o no, es legal o clandestino”➡️”It’s not yes or no, is legal or clandestine”
This was a long one, but I needed to explain! Hope you stick around for the book 👀✨

*Part 3*
Following my last two posts, here’s part three! 🤩
At this stage on my project I moved to working with collages, I thought it was a fun idea and a way to explore different stuff. I started well into the feminism idea of how society pushes women to behave a certain way and then I started narrowing down into the topic of abortion, and how everything was functioning back home.
If you didn’t know, up until December 31st 2020 abortion was illegal in Argentina.
There has been marches and fights for it to become legal for the longest time, so something pushed me to work more on that so that’s where I took my project! If you’re still interested in this little journey keep your eyes open because Part 4 will be coming soon 👀✨

*Part 2*
I kept playing with different ways of adding text and what kind of text. Also, exploring how to be a bit more provocative with the work. Next up I start working with collages so keep your eyes open 👀

*Part 1*
Continuing from my last post, this was my first body of work I did for my Master. I wanted to work on the topic of Feminism, and how the image of women was affected in the media and in life in general. I chose to work on self-portraits and combined them with text, very out of my comfort zone (as well as sharing them with you now 🙈) but I thought it suited the topic quite well. Keep on the look out for part 2!

I think is a great time to introduce all of you to my Master’s project 🌟
I have gone through my up and downs through out my whole Masters but I am almost at the end now. I went from doing self-portraits/collages to my end product being a book (I know, who would of thought I would make a book, insane). So, given that I’m waiting in the proof copy of my book I wanted to show you a bit of the whole process from the beginning to the end!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did ❤️

They’re finally here! Made some cute nice bookmarks and they are now up in my shop! Go sn**ch yours 🔖📚

Today I celebrate the ongoing fight women around the world do for a better future, for the next generation, for a more equal life. En Argentina ya han ocurrido 47 femicidios al día de la fecha, uno cada 30 horas. Hoy elijo seguir esta hermosa lucha y usar este día como un recuerdo de que todavía hay muchísimas cosas por las cuales luchar más que celebrar ✊🏼💚

Happy Valentine’s from Mara’s Corner to you! Thank you for the ongoing support, means the world ❤️
