Entropy


Entropy




There is an approach to the final mutation with each successive defeat, and that man is nothing but what he seeks to be, projects to be, struggling between words and behavior and joy splashed with blood and other rhetoric like this.
― Julio Cortázar

 

States mutation constitutes the essence of the whole and it finds here a correlation between woman, soil and sky. This means that person, soil and sky are one unit which is changeable.
In the first state, woman’s hands are tied, her eyes and mouth are heavily bandaged (she can neither speak nor see), and this figure finds correlation with a soil incapable of producing vegetation. Sky is shown as dark, closed and stormy in this first state. 
In the second state, she begins to straighten her body; bandages have dissapeared from her hands, because she can remove them, deciding first to untie the one that makes it impossible to see. Here we can see a fertile soil where vegetation is born, and a certainly simplier sky that appears has left behind the storm.
In the third and final stage, the woman raises her torso completely to see a clear and prominent future sky; although her eyes are still blindfolded, she rises her head to look up to the sky; the bandages that prevent her from seeing and speaking falling start to fall down; she is ready to get up and walk on a the fertile soil.
