Resistance is a manifestation of the coexistence of any opposition, and it is the way in which a large part of human and political evolution has been formed. The 13 Yellow Ribbons is an installation that talks about the symbolic gesture of the yellow ribbon as a way of breaking the daily silence about a reality that is unpleasant.
