Johanna sees the male gaze as an obstacle to undo patriarchal ideologies of shame about nudity and sexualisation of women’s bodies. Her statement acknowledges ongoing codes of morality in Puerto Rico. This predominantly conservative environment might explain why there was not a feminist performance like Musas ever before. María Reinat explains:

For us it was like: this can be done. Even if it offends any fundamentalist, let’s cross the line. And when you cross the line, you give inspiration to other people who are afraid. In Puerto Rico we live in fear, my employer is going to fire me, my husband will see me, what will he think about me? All that kind of stuff.
