Three objects, a machete and two sticks, are placed on the surrounding walls. According to the dictionary, the word machete is the diminutive of the Latin word masculus (man). The machete was bought in a small boat supermarket along the Rio Orinoco on the border with Venezuela. Without a machete you cannot walk through the dense jungle. Once back in Bogotá, she drew a leaf pattern and lasered it on the machete.
