Album cover

edit

The meaning of the cover art is explained by Paulina Villareal: "The main image of the album shows a scene filled with excess, and we are also actresses of this excess. There is too much of everything on this table and people who seem very respectable consume much more than they really need to live. That's why we got on it and we try to stop - or at least slow down - this orgy. But in the end, sad to say, we still participate in it. We are also at this table. It represents what we live on a daily basis and what we try to fight in our small way." [14]
