Cuerpo Vestido, Alma Desnuda

“Purity is not an absolute, but a construct, one long used to shape, silence, and sanctify women’s lives”.

Cuerpo Vestido, Alma Desnuda (Clothed Body, Naked Soul) is a visual essay exploring how cultural constructions of female purity, morality, and restraint shape women’s lives across generations. Rooted in Latin cultural rituals and symbolism, the project unfolds through four archetypes - La Quinceañera, La Novia, La Doña, La Abuela - considering the body as a site of inheritance, expectation, and resistance.
