Cuerpo Vestido, Alma Desnuda
(Clothed Body, Naked Soul)

A visual essay examining how cultural constructions of female purity, morality, and restraint are embodied across women’s lives. Rooted in Latin cultural rituals and symbolism, the project unfolds through four archetypes -La Quinceañera, La Novia, La Doña, and La Abuela- considering the body as a site of inheritance, expectation, and resistance.

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