Genetriz, a term that means generator or creator, is a bust that exposes, in a raw and sensorial way, the marks and imperfections of the female body to society. The work presents a robust torso, without head and arms, with a realistic texture that emphasizes every detail of the skin. Imperfections, scars and surface irregularities are highlighted, challenging conventional beauty norms and celebrating the authenticity and diversity of the body.
