A serendipity is an unexpected fortunate discovery or finding made by chance, that occurs when you are looking for something else. An image is never a reflection of reality, it is always a construction intended to achieve a specific response in the viewer. Images contribute to create the ideology of a culture and legitimize it, making us believe that they are objective representations of an invariable reality. If an image can be constructed, it can also be deconstructed, and in this process hidden messages can come to the surface.
In “Serendipities” underlies an inconformity with the conditioning to a society and culture which are globalized and patriarchal. I try to dynamite the taken for granted concepts of the role of women, including maternity and the female body; and other concepts linked to the “morals”, upbringing, and death. “Serendipities” is a sort of striptease that leaves open to the naked eye the scars of the subconscious. The decontextualized images seem to come together almost at their own will to construct metaphors. The serendipity in this way becomes synchronic, acquiring a profound meaning, which is enriched by the viewers´ interpretations.
