“Gravità”

Gravity is defined as "Cause capable of modifying the state of rest or movement of
a body" and in this work, at the same time presents a grave reality: the gravity
that so many women around the world are abused, a fact capable of changing the

state of a woman's body, changing her world of order, turning her universe "upside-
down." Frequently my sculptures are white and have small "beautiful" details such

as the skirt, the gold color of the rope, and the nail polish to enhance the force of
transmutation and spiritual sublimation of pain in an interval between the beautiful
and the ugly (brutal).
It is ironic how women who have been mistreated are considered weak when living
with the world upside down requires strength to cope with abuse, pain, and fear.

“Madre Terra”

The Earth, the so-called blue planet, in my work "Mother Earth," is dressed in
white, an invitation to reflect on its current situation. The theme of violence in this
work includes the woman Mother and the Earth, creators of life and all the
resources for human beings survive. However, like women, the planet has also
been violated, exploited, mistreated, and unfortunately, we became aware after the
disastrous events that we all know. It is a work that represents the Earth and the
mother as one, to protect and defend. A mother with open arms welcomes the
Earth, suspended in the infinite possibilities of life.

“El Hombrezitto”

His name is half in Spanish (Hombre) half in Italian (zitto means silence!)
The "Hombre-Zitto" has no mouth for it is silenced by guilt by the search for
his own redemption in the voice of his silence. The dress recalls a roman robe
or a priest's cassock, indicating that since immemorial time, political and
religious power has been in the hands of men from almost every culture in
the world, denying gender equality. Without a mouth, man loses his verbal
power. He can no longer give orders or verbally abuse, remaining in a deep,
ceremonial, and eternal silence in memory of all mistreated women who
deserve more than "a minute of silence."
Hombrezitto little man,
diminutive in Spanish,
quiet in Italian.
His mouth silenced by guilt,
for the pursuit of his redemption
in the voice of his silence.
His rigid and powerful body
Emperor of bloody battles
Religious man of horrendous inquisitions.

“Esposas”

Wives are the handcuffs they put on the prisoners, and at the same time, wife means married
woman. What to say? Many wives are prisoners, victims of domestic abuse, appearing with their
beautiful outward presence, what they hide inside.
How many times have we felt tied by the hands when making a decision that has direct
repercussions on our person? These handcuffs are what we hide but want someone to see. It is
the state in which many women live and do not know how to free themselves.

“Io Abito”

"Abito" in Italian means to inhabit and dress at the same time. "Io Abito" is “the
dress that I habit” and that functions as a symbol and tangible representation of
the interval between interior and exterior, between what we do not want to show
and what we put in evidence. It covers and uncovers, protects and exposes. It acts
as a barrier for emotions and at the same time communicates them clearly to the
outside. The dress under the concept of "interval," between presence and absence,
matter and energy.

“Tante tante mutande tante”

It is a work that is part of the series INTIMOS with which I seek to represent the
sensation of an interval, between interior and exterior, touching the tangible and
intimate of a woman, without touching her physical or emotional body. Intimate red
dresses, a symbol of blood, strength, suffering, and at the same time of love and
passion, emotions that every woman has the right to feel and can recover when she
manages to overcome the pain.
Irreverent and simple
So many, so many underwear, so many...
red underwear, the color symbolizing pain, suffering and sacrifice... so many, so
many women, so many...
mistreated, punished and hit
in the intimacy of their existence...

“Latte”

Abstraction and synthesis reminiscent of a nursing mother. White like milk, pure
and peaceful like the contact between mother and child. This work was made many
years before I started with the theme of gender violence and the concept of
interval. Unlike the other works from that period, I exhibit this one because I made
it without knowing that it would become the starting point of the project called Why
White Why on which I am still working.

“Scheggiate”

... and she was on her knees...
"Scheggiate" in English means "Chipped." wounded knees as a result of submission
to her oppressor, glass-like splinters because kneeling hurts more when
accompanied by the inner pain where the shards are nailed to the soul. However,
the glasses on her knees, a pain memory transformed into blue hope, in an interval
between trauma and post-trauma.
It is a work that is part of the series fragments.

“Miguelito”

Miguelito is one of the few male figures in my work. A puppet framed in his past
and in his guilt. With a foot stained with blood red, he hangs from his broken and
defeated arm...Miguelito reflected in his shadow...and his shadow reflected in his
past. It is not a work against men in general; on the contrary, I seek to denounce
violence against women but with respect and gender equality with my work.

“Gender Holocaust”

The title of this work is "Gender Holocaust." Unfortunately, there are in the world
these two events that can be associated, the holocaust and femicides. Is just a
different substantive to call the most significant violation, the right to life.
As a tribute to battered women, red shoes in the squares have become a symbol of
gender violence. In this work, I expose them as they are seen in the museum in
Auschwitz, a pile of victims' shoes in concentration camps; in this case, they are
painted red as a symbol of femicide and violence against women.
NO to violence against women!

“Piedades Serie”

The dress as a symbol and tangible representation of the interval between interior
and exterior, between what we do not want to show and what we obviously show;
They cover and uncover, protect and expose. The dress act as a barrier to emotions
and at the same time communicates them clearly to the outside. Devoid of a body
to support them, they become body-clothing, specters of fabric that are traces and
at the same time have a life of their own.
Bodies/clothes, dressed in white, women pierced by pain, crucified, nailed, leave
the trace of the body that is no longer there.

“Damigiana Piangente”

A dress without a body that cries its empty glass womb. A mother's love for her
absent child. The pain of many women, after being abused, have aborted because
of the trauma of blows or were forced. Only the empty matter remains; tears of
milk crystallized in the tail of the dress, body, and soul are already gone...
