For Male León´s first solo exhibition, she is presenting a series of 9 photographs of urban sculptures taken at the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires intervened manually to grant each one a connection with a Jungian archetype. 

According to Jung, archetypes are collective universal patterns or motifs that come from the collective unconscious and are the basic content of religions, mythologies, legends and fairytales. In other words, an archetype, and its possession of both superpowers and human abilities, expresses the presence of a divine force within the human soul that manifests itself in a collective unconsciousness. As human beings, we have  

emotions and intrinsic characteristics that connect with each one of the archetypes that emerge in our consciousness by way of visions and images. Within the context of this Jungian framework, a photograph of the general view of the cemetery becomes the Olympus from which she choose individual sculptures to be photographed and intervened with a particular goddess and their respective power and trade in mind. 

“For this exhibition, I have re-created, through photography and manual intervention using pastels and thread, eight archetypes producing a series of unique pieces that evoke each of the Greek gods based on the urban sculptures found at the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. “
