Sculptural Work
My three-dimensional work focuses on the human figure, primarily female, exploring tensions, struggles for freedom, and expressive dramatism through techniques of polyurethane, resin, and iron.
Series: Identity
"...An ethical attitude underlies Ibarrondo's work. Faced with the awareness of corresponding to a critical historical time, in which the human being is oppressed by daily life that limits their possibilities and curtails their impulses, this author, through her sculptural forms, logo-undertakes the search for freedom that allows her to assert her female condition." — Sarah Guerra, in the book "40 Argentine Sculptors"
"...The female figure is the exclusive protagonist who suffers the circumstances of a temporal process marked by deep imbalances where women are especially vulnerable... The woman with her arms raised and her head covered by an adhering cloth that oppresses them, struggles violently to free herself..." — Sarah Guerra

Monument to the Arab Immigrant
Upon recommendation of the Municipality of Bahía Blanca, I created the Arab Immigrant Monument for the Syrian Lebanese Society, located in Villa Mitre Square, which was inaugurated on September 11, 1999.
The sculpture is representative of one of the Arab immigrants with peasant attire of that era. He holds a farming tool in one of his hands as a symbol of work, while the other hand is extended open in a sign of goodwill and expressing "Here I am".
The artwork was carved in expanded polyurethane and coated in polyester resin, and features an internal iron structure. The figure is located under a large classic Arab Arch, built by the Architect of the Municipality of Bahía Blanca, Horacio Miglierina.
