The title recalls the American dismemberment and also means strength, that which women need in the time of patriarchal cultures and violence towards our bodies. This work uses plates that are the soul of the engine, of industries that stop. This raw material was dissembled, polished, cut, and pierced into small pieces, resulting in a woman's cape with what each one shed: their blood. For this purpose, it was chosen to enamel the iron instead of painting it, so that that red was a constituent part of the metal and not something on the surface.
I avoided the oxidation of the metal as a symbolic way of preventing the corruptions that all corrode and are part of this problem. A search was necessary to find the appropriate technique, which was achieved with the isolation of the iron used in old kitchen pots. It required finding a supplier of the pigment for the task, and a furnace for firing the enamel. In the baking process, some glass beads and different ways of enameling distribution were added to individualize each plate. The fire did the rest. The units obtained were threaded with copper wires, also from the motor winding, reinforcing, given the weight that the work acquired. It is armed on three structures that fit on a mannequin intervened with mutilations. The cape ends in a long tail like a blood river.
