Monarch, is a faithful representation of the aura of majesty, of the empowerment embodied in the human being, turned into a long process of struggle and transformation. Implicit in the monarchical figure is not only the overcoming of the traditional role of women, that macho pattern that has been imposed on her throughout history and that has won through the progress of the female symbol; It is the social transformation reflected in the monarch butterfly that rests on its shoulder, the one that experiences the natural metamorphosis charged with that spirit of freedom, change, expansion and resistance, an evolution that implies sacrifice, ucha, sovereignty, resistance and values before each situation tormented similar to the crisis facing the world today. This is the state of authority in which women revitalize their potency and explore the change in mentality from a macho and individualistic society to one in which men and women are capable of sharing desires and power. From this sense of equality, representation implies a notion that goes beyond the mere feminist concept in which the position of women in their leadership image attempts to build a more peaceful and sustainable earthly space through their social recognition; it is the work, more than that an act of liberation, of struggle and human strength impregnated by the vigor of the winged specimen (butterfly) to turn any situation open to misfortune into a motive for unlimited commitment. The artistic discourse tries to show something more than recognition or the feminine fight for a more equitable society, without preferential mediations due to the biological differences of the human being; it is a general symbol of strength and defiance, of the positive values of each individual that overcomes their supposed weaknesses.
