A woman floats inches from a beautiful and menacing prickly pear cactus plant.
The graceful silhouette is that of the actress Sharon Tate, barbarously killed in the summer of 1969, in her villa on Cielo Drive in Los Angeles.
Sharon was eight months pregnant.
A terrible and "thorny" theme that of violence against women, I chose to treat it through contrasts, a key and recurring motif of my visual story. Leap and fall, beauty and cruelty, local and universal.
Dedicated to Giovanna Bonsignore and all the "queens" victims of feminicide.
