Rewriting Fragility

I want to rewrite the canons and to give a new face and a new body to "fragility". We live in a society in which image, aesthetics and appearance are now everything and assume a practically fundamental importance, in which especially the figure of the woman continues to be the center of objectification - a now common practice that continues to interests of industries, those of the patriarchal system of the white race.

My work is a work of liberation from the male visual appropriation of woman's sexuality, which unfortunately still today causes disorientation and discomfort. It is a work of emancipation from the male gaze that dominates undisputed in fashion advertising and above all in real life. There is an innate need for beauty - even if it is very difficult to accept - and there is an essential need to rewrite fragility through the rewriting of today's pre-established standards of beauty. Beauty and fragility are intrinsically inseparable, one depends on the other and in fragility there is not only our beauty but also our innate power.
