Chase Walls On A Blueprint

sculpture in honor of Working Women by Antonio G. Hagan ª Villarán


Here are some pictures of sculpture I made in tribute to working women to be inaugurated today in Aznalcázar.


The objective of this project was to make a sculpture for the people of Aznalcázar. It is a female figure in bronze is a woman carrying a pitcher full body. The symbolism that has this figure is that of working women coming down every day to the power of the people to take home the most precious asset: the water. The effort required this activity is a reflection of what happens today in the workplace for women, so that we may be all reflected. The

woman is facing slope just down, and you have to

olver v

up carrying pitchers of water, which symbolizes personal growth and courage to face any problem. Therefore, the uphill is also part of the idea of \u200b\u200bsculpture.


This statue is complemented by a marble base, where two images taken in ceramics of everyday scenes in which women are seen working. In one of the cloths the woman carrying the pitcher is accompanied by the figure of a girl, her daughter, who symbolize youth and culture learning popular. Is also a mature woman who could be the grandmother, which are represented the three ages of women. In the background is the well, remembering what was actually not so long ago. In the second cloth two women are picking olives, work that still takes place in Aznalcázar where there is no distinction between men and women.

These near-photographic images are entrenched in the collective memory of the people of

Aznalcázar. The village is thus a reminder of what life was before, thus providing an excuse to feel nearest to recover the past and historical memory so lost in these times.

Being a group of sculptures that are available in the old Plaza de la Fuente, ie outdoors, is made of bronze as the final material. Thus not affected by weather agents. This provides not only the retention time is also a symbol of hardness and strength.
