In Heroínas sin capa, I brought together the layered interchange between solitude and space I often portray in my work with my inclination to experiment with different visual mediums and surfaces. In this series, I experimented with printmaking by reworking several images I had created for the video installation Out of the Pandemic. Exploring how the ink behaved and interacted with different materials, I was especially drawn to the “imperfections” that emerged, making each piece unique in color and form.
