About the Item
Entre Claros is a piece inspired by María Zambrano’s book Claros del Bosque. It unfolds like an expandable landscape, drawn on ceramic mosaics, where female bodies walk through the thicket. They are not seeking to reach any particular place. They are not pursuing a promise of light. They walk because walking is a gesture of resistance, a ritual act of opening oneself to the enigma. The forest—with its overflowing vegetation and ancestral architecture of intertwined trunks—offers itself as a symbolic territory, a space of transit and transformation.
In Zambrano’s poetic philosophy, the “clearings” are not goals but irruptions: moments of revelation that emerge when thought surrenders to the invisible. But here, the clearing has not yet appeared. It remains hidden, dormant, like knowledge that refuses to be mastered. The walkers advance without a map, embodying a non-linear relationship with time and knowledge. They do not seek the clearing: they inhabit it in potential, as they pass through the shadows.
“The clearing in the forest is not sought, it is found; and it is the forest itself that decides when to open up,” writes Zambrano. This work is part of that
active waiting, that listening to the world and the body that is deeply feminine and political. Because in a world that demands certainties, productivity,
and permanent light, Entre claros vindicates not knowing, slowness, and intuition as forms of wisdom. Crossing the forest is neither escape nor conquest: it is remaining in the question. It is letting mystery guide one’s steps.

Visual artist and designer, María Conejo studied in the School of Fine Arts and Design. Her creative practice spans across various areas such as drawing, pain- ting, illustration, design, large-scale murals, ceramics, and tattoos, and her artistic practice portrays the relationship with her own body and is fueled by continuous research on the body, sexuality, and the iconography that has been generated throu- ghout history to represent and address these themes. Twice awarded the national Young Creators grant, a program led by the Ministry of Culture, in 2014 and 2016 in the Print category. María Conejo is the co-founder
and art director of Pussypedia.net, a sexual education website that received first
place in the 10th National Design Biennial in Mexico and a Webby award in 2020.
She is the illustrator of Pussypedia, a Comprehensive Guide, published in 2021
in New York by Hachette Books. She is also the art director and illustrator of the
animated short film “Llueve” which, among several awards, was part of the official
selection at the 61st Semaine de la Critique at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
