Intervention with sound frequency on three glass panels transported from the historical centre of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
Three glass panels with wood frame, 181 x 286 x 120; 96.5 x 286 x 120; 132.5 x 286 x 120 cm.
Sounds from the train across Ciudad Juarez are recorded and transformed into a low frequency that vibrates in the gallery space. The sound rattles the installation’s glass panels - taken from the city centre. The panels are covered with Xeroxed posters featuring the faces of missing women.

Awarded a Special Mention.
Motivation of the Jury: "…for her sharp and poignant works that deal with the plight of women grossly affected by the narcotics trade in her native Mexico, and for creating powerful testimonies by shifting existing structures from the real world into the Exhibition halls."
