The green wave is a fabric is a photographic series about women in Argentina fighting for legal abortion. The maré verde - green wave - has not been stoped by the government's no in august 2018. On the contrary, the movement made itself into millions of pañuelos - green scarfs - scaterred across the streets of Buenos Aires. In this series, I photograph my encounter with people who occupy the streets, fighting for the right to choose and not die or be criminilized.
