In this mural for the GarGar Festival in Penelles, Catalunya, I explore the profound and vital connection between women and the rural landscape. The piece features a central female figure holding a basket of wheat, but the core narrative lies in the symbolic opening in her chest, from which the grain flows freely.
This work serves as a visual metaphor: women are not merely observers or workers of the land; they are the pulsing heart of agricultural life itself. Through this imagery, I wanted to celebrate female strength and their indispensable role in the heritage and continuity of rural communities.
The flow of wheat from within the figure represents a source of life and sustenance, bridging the gap between the human spirit and the earth that provides for us. In a place like Penelles, where the agricultural identity is so present, this mural stands as a tribute to the unseen force that has sustained these lands for generations.
