Using surrealist techniques, Bombal uncovers the unconscious cultural connection between the domination of woman and of nature. Her stylistic emphasis in the corporeal and the sensual shares with eco-feminism the belief in the acquisition of knowledge through the senses and in the creation of a new epistemology that could guide us towards the emergence of a non-hierarchical world.esCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlikeArticle
