"In ritual there is no loneliness; it is the perpetual dance of souls, connected through time and space."
— Clarissa Pinkola Estes

What we do ritualizes. Almost everything we communicate becomes ritual. By participating in the ritual, we are complicit in the acts that determine and transform the environment. The feminine has been charged with repeated acts that stipulate women's behavior through cultural and social norms. But let's remember that the feminine is born natural and becomes cultural.

Ileana uses signs of the feminine: the body and identity, maintaining a chromatic persistence in different media that, although it could comply with the canon, breaks the stigma of color. Their disruptive aesthetics translate pre-Hispanic symbols to separate the religiosity they once had. They are no longer gods, they are downloading devices.

Rites of passage invites us to suspend the feminine in an ambiguous state to be configured with a new identity that praises, questions and reinterprets the contextual inheritance of gender in a space where the works reflect a different and chaotic view of women. Chaos is also feminine.
