“Pesadilla”

This piece is a soft object stitched from silence and sorrow. Constructed in the form of a pillow—an emblem of rest, vulnerability, and the quiet of night—it holds the faces of women lost to femicide across South America. Their images, worn and partially obscured, speak to both the fragility of memory and the systematic erasure of their stories.

Each portrait is sewn in place with visible threads—acts of remembrance, resistance, and grief. The fabric is raw, torn, and weathered, mirroring the reality that for too many women, nightfall is not a time of peace, but of fear. In a region where countless women are taken in the dark, this pillow becomes a witness. A resting place. A protest.
