Absence

Artist Alejandra Glez, Absence, edition 3 of 3. ‘Absence’ is part of the series of works by Alejandra Glez ‘Mar de fondo’ (Backdrop sea, 2017). This series prompts inconvenient truths and unanswered questions. In it, the bodies of models representing deceased women, the victims of gender violence, femicide, women trafficking and illegal immigration, float naked in a red sea surface until they sink. In Presence, their silhouettes remain visible. In Absence, the silhouettes are faded away thus symbolizing how most of the violence against women tragically fall into oblivion.
