The artist
"Aún así, is an anti-sexist image where I denounce sexism. The woman, still with her body censored no matter what she wears, awakens contempt, or desire, or violence. The woman facing the temptations of others and her own, a giant perhaps winking at the myth of the hero. The woman as a coveted island about to be devoured"
