I WAS MY BODY | YO ERA MI CUERPO

Sunday Liturgies, self portraits 2023
 

​

I grew up in Rome, surrounded by Catholic and Baroque iconography whose influence has been inevitable in my visual universe. The glorification of suffering and the obsession with feminine virginal purity are themes that in one way or another reappear in my works.
This series of self-portraits was born from the need to look back at my own body after going through a clinical depression.
We live the experience of hell and heaven through the body. Everything remains and changes there, inescapable record of our events in the world.
