As a youth, Glenda León pursued ballet with passion and discipline, and that inclination toward performance remained in later years as she studied art history and developed as a multidisciplinary visual artist. During a residency in Perth, Australia, León’s varied interests came together as a performative intervention in the landscape as she planted a field of delicate, colorful flowers. Her flowers, however, were made of bows from women’s underwear, together forming a private garden, an “inner” garden, a truly feminine garden. It was, as well, an ephemeral garden, “a created landscape, an object,” she said, “and I took its picture.”

Siendo muy joven, Glenda León se dedicó al ballet con pasión y disciplina. En sus años posteriores, mantuvo esa inclinación hacia la performance al estudiar historia del arte y desarrollarse como artista visual multidisciplinaria. Durante una residencia en Perth, Australia, León unió sus variados intereses en una intervención performativa en el paisaje: plantó un campo de flores delicadas y coloridas hechas de lazos de ropa interior de mujer, formando un jardín “interior” genuinamente femenino. También era un jardín efímero, ha dicho: “[Era] un paisaje creado, un objeto… y lo fotografié”.
