The artist has chosen to use the pinhole photography technique, which she controls and has been working with for years, as the optimal material for the piece. This object uses the void as a space for the gestation of the image and that is exactly the value that Legarreta has given it; that of its relation to the concept of the uterus.

It has been the artist herself who has created her own cameras from metal cans. He has also provided them with four small holes or pinholes, with the intention of generating a type of multiplied image that bumps, stumbles, meets ... and merges casually. The pinhole technique creates blurred images, without too much sharpness, timeless, discarded; A fact that has also been used by Legarreta to bet on a trance context, dreamlike, primitive and undefined, where the artist plays with the boundary between the stain and the image.
