The watercolour series "Todas íbamos a reinas" portrays groups of insects, fungi and other organisms. The title comes from a poem by Gabriela Mistral from 1971, where she talks about a group of women who are destined to become queens - but never do. It is a text about the expectations that some bodies generate and their brilliant future, but it can also be re-signified as a response to the insignificance of these social categories on all scales. The idea of hierarchy, especially that related to different species, is a construction process instituted to generate specific inequalities and structures of domination of one form of life over the other. In this sense, in these works, fungi and insects have their own categories, which, although they do not correspond to human forms, somehow prove a relationship with their context, linked above all to their survival.
