Glass ceiling

Addressed from an iconographic post-graffiti, this piece represents a human face divided into two halves, both shortened at its upper limit, but unevenly, breaking with symmetry and generating visual impact. A bird rests on that lower limit, looking towards the unevenness, representing the awakening of consciousness and connecting with the famous quote from the play "Gabriel", written by French author George Sand: «I was a woman; for suddenly my wings collapsed, ether closed in around my head like an impenetrable crystal vault, and I fell». This description of the heroine's dream of soaring with wings, is widely linked to the concept of glass ceiling in feminist studies, being interpreted as a feminine Icarus tale of a woman who attempts to ascend above her accepted role.
