Ana Ruiz de Apodaca's abstract brush invites us to get to know 'Landscapes of the soul', a proposal in which abstract lines play with a space in which every woman is a source of life.

The binary and digital art in the form of a video proposed by Helena Davó in 'Estimated Time' questions time through a video installation called 'Sweet Dreams', consisting of a bed on which the characters of a constant and uneventful story are projected. beginning nor end.

Finally, Ana Pomares, through 'She loves me, she doesn't love me', addresses the harmonious combination of frames and bras, the problem of gender violence.
